The Untouchables

* enters, bows a friendly greeting to all present *

Indeed, as Manwe Sulimo says, Aylwen's answer to Eruwen's second question is indeed a good and soothful one.

On a personal note, last year, before seeing the movie and without having seen the scene in any trailer ... I dreamed that scene, about the Ring. It was so eerily similar that when I watched it on the movie screen, I jumped in horror. Only, my dream was worse, because in the dream I touched the Ring. It overpowered me so quickly and intensely that I woke myself up from the dream in under a minute, unable to stand it. I shall not describe the effects beyond what you already know.

Hobbits are known for simplicity, wizards for the opposite of simplicity ... namely, subtlety. Thus it should not be surprising that whereas Hobbits possess an amazing resistance to the Ring and can long endure against its effects ...

Well, this is a subject as harsh and grating to the ear as the Black Speech on even the clearest of days.
