Renewal

I just finished reading the Hobbit again. I picked up a copy in Provo, UT for $2 at a thrift store. In my last reading one thing I read has stuck in my mind.

'Farewell, good theif,' he said. 'I go now to the halls of waiting to sit beside my fathers, until the world is renewed. Since I leave now all gold and silver, and go where it is of little worth, I wish to part in friendship from you, and I would take back my words and deeds at the Gate.' -Thorin Oakenshield from the Hobbit, Chapter 18.
