“The rule of no realm is mine, neither of Gondor nor any other, great or
small. But all worthy things that are in peril as the world now stands,
those are my care. And for my part, I shall not wholly fail of my task,
though Gondor should perish, if anything passes through this night that
can still grow fair or bear fruit and flower again in days to come. For
I also am a steward. Did you not know?”
— Gandalf to
Denethor, Steward of Gondor, in
The Return of the King by
J.R.R. Tolkien
