“ ‘Don’t you worry about me! I am as happy now as I have ever been, and that is saying a great deal. But the time has come. I am being swept off my feet at last,’ he added, and then in a low voice, as if to himself, he sang softly in the dark…”
— J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
If you know your Lord of the Rings trilogy (and we all should), Bilbo Baggins makes this remark to Gandalf, just after Bilbo’s 111th birthday party, as he’s leaving Bag End forever.
How I love that line! “I am bring swept off my feet at last.”
A good thing, or a bad thing, to be swept off your feet at last? It could probably go either way.
