Is it just me or is that line incredible writing?

Like, can you think of a more Hobbit metaphor?

(Not to say the rest of the writing is bad, this one just stuck with me as Tolkien really got into Bilbos head)

    No, it's amazing. It also works for describing the overall theme of decay for the third age.

    Also fits Galadriel and her decision to rather remain Galadriel and go into the west instead of become the "Dark Queen". She's literally the oldest living being besides Sauron itself residing on Middle Earth by that point.
