" Said the second elder: "Get we to the road, then, and make haste. I havebeen seeking, and meseemeth, though the way be long, it is not utterlyblind for us. Or look thou, Raven-son, is there not a path yonder thatleadeth onward up to the brow of the ghyll again? and as I have seen, itleadeth on again down from the said brow. " Forsooth there was a track that led through the stony tangle of thewilderness; so they took to the road with a good heart, and went all day, and saw no living thing, and... not a blade of grass or a trickle of water:nought save the wan rocks under the sun; and though they trusted in theirroad that it led them aright, they saw no other glimpse of the GlitteringPlain, because there rose a great ridge like a wall on the north side, and they went as it were down along a trench of the rocks, albeit it waswhiles broken across by ghylls, and knolls, and reefs. So at sunset they rested and ate their victual, for they were very weary;and thereafter they lay down, and slept as soundly as if they were in thebest of the halls of men.
