Summary: Anniversary illness
“It is gone for ever. Now all is dark and empty.”
His friends believed the loss of the Ring swathed his heart in darkness, but in truth Frodo barely thought about the Ring. Instead he saw the countryside of the Shire, hills gray and dim like the land of the Barrow Wights. The tulips in his garden dropped black petals to the earth, and tree blossoms offered no fragrance. Spring had come, but not for him. He remained encased in winter, gazing at the world through a veil of ice.
The magnificent color of a world long passed, gone forever.
