elrond: the further you go, the less easy will it be to withdraw; yet no oath or bond is laid on you to go further than you will. for you do not yet know the strength of your hearts, and you cannot foresee what each may meet upon the road.
gimli: faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.
elrond: maybe, but let him not vow to walk in the dark, who has not seen the nightfall.
gimli: yet sworn word may strengthen quaking heart.
elrond: or break it. look not too far ahead!
