Perhaps, Naaramare, said Bethberry, while shaking the mud which had gone flying from the horses' hooves off her cloak, too, if you recall Gandalf's words about 'making the best of the time available to you' you would think less of the elvish song of longing. Think instead about the Rangers' duties in Gandalf's poem. It seems to me there is more hope, more positive spirit there.
"The less you have, the more you see."
Why walk into the new day backwards? Especially since you can no longer see backwards, so to speak.
Naaramare looked askance at Bethberry and was ready to take offense but then saw the kindly grin taking shape around the corners of Bethberry's mouth.
