LotR -- Book 5 - Chapter 04 - The Siege of Gondor

[Encaitare]

One more thing: the cock crowing who "recks nothing of wizardry or war" is always interesting to me, insofar as this line seems to point toward some kind of necessary connection between wizardry and war: is it a comparison of good and bad, light and dark, or are they linked in some other way? -- that is, are they being joined together as part of the same problem?

I thought the words were chosen simply because they make sense and sound nice and alliterative.
