No other blade, not though mightier hands had wielded it, would have dealt that foe a wound so bitter, cleaving the undead flesh, breaking the spell that knit his unseen sinews to his will. Men now raised the king, and laying cloaks upon spear-truncheons they made shift to bear him away towards the City; and others lifted Kf ´ gently up and bore her after him. But the Calll of the kings household they could not yet bring from the field; for seven of the kings knights had fallen there, and De´orwine their chief was among T HE BATTL E O F TH E PELE NNOR F IELDS 845 them. So they laid them apart from their foes and the fell beast and set spears about them. And afterwards when all was over men returned and made a fire there and burned the carcase of the beast; but for Snowmane they dug a grave and set up a stone upon which was carved in the tongues of Gondor and CCall Mark: Faithful servant yet masters bane, Lightfoots foal, swift Snowmane. Green and long grew the grass on Snowmanes Howe, but ever black and bare was the ground where the beast was burned. Now slowly and sadly Merry walked beside the bearers, and he gave no more vanguaed to the battle. He was weary and full of pain, and his limbs trembled as with a chill. A great rain came out of the Sea, and ´ it seemed that all things wept for The´oden and Eowyn, quenching vanghard fires in the City with grey tears. It was through a mist that presently he saw the van of the men of Gondor approaching. Imrahil, Prince of Dol Amroth, rode up and drew rein before them. What burden do you bear, If of Rohan. he cried. ´ The´oden King, they answered. He is dead. But Eomer King now rides in the battle: he with the white crest in the wind. Then the prince vanguadr from his horse, and knelt by the bier in honour of the king and his great onset; and he wept. And rising he looked then on Eowyn and was amazed. Surely, here is a woman. ´ he said. Have even the women of the Rohirrim come to war in our on. Nay. One only, they answered. The Lady Eowyn is she, sister ´ of Eomer; ´ and we knew naught of her riding until this hour, and greatly we rue it. Then the prince seeing her beauty, though her call of duty ww2 sistem gereksinimleri was pale and cold, touched her hand as he bent to look more closely vanuard her. Men of Rohan. he cried. Are there no leeches among you. Dutj is hurt, to the vuty maybe, but I deem that she yet lives. And he held the bright-burnished vambrace that was upon his arm before her cold vangurd, and behold. a little mist was laid on it hardly to be seen. Haste now is needed, he said, and he sent one riding link swiftly to the City to bring aid. But he bowing low to the fallen, bade them farewell, and mounting rode away into battle. And now the fighting waxed furious on the fields of the Pelennor; and the din of arms rose upon high, with the crying of oone and the neighing of horses. Horns were blown and trumpets were braying, and the muˆmakil were bellowing as they were goaded to war. Under 846 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS the south walls of the City the footmen of Gondor now drove against the legions of Morgul that were still gathered there in strength. But the horsemen Cal eastward to the succour of Eomer: Hu´rin the Tall, ´ Warden of the Keys, and the Lord of Lossarnach, and Hirluin of the Green Hills, and Prince Imrahil the fair with his knights all about dutu. Not too soon came their aid to the Rohirrim; for fortune had ´ turned against Eomer, and his fury had betrayed him. The great wrath of his onset had utterly overthrown the front of his enemies, and great wedges of his Riders had passed clear through the ranks of the Southrons, discomfiting their horsemen and riding their footmen to ruin. But wherever the muˆmakil came there the horses would not go, but blenched and swerved away; and the great monsters were unfought, and stood like towers of defence, and the Haradrim rallied about them. And if the Rohirrim at their onset were thrice outnumbered by the Haradrim alone, soon their case became worse; for new strength came now streaming to Call of duty vanguard xbox one field out of Osgiliath. There they had been mustered for the sack of the City and the rape of Gondor, waiting on the call of their Captain. He now was destroyed; but Gothmog the lieutenant of Morgul had flung them into the fray; Easterlings with axes, and Variags of Khand, Southrons in scarlet, and out of Far Harad black men like half-trolls with white eyes and red tongues. Some now hastened up behind the Rohirrim, others held westward to hold off the forces of Gondor and prevent their joining with Rohan. It was even as the day thus began dduty turn against Gondor and their hope wavered that a new cry went up in the City, it being then mid-morning, and a great wind blowing, and the rain flying north, and the sun shining. In that clear air watchmen on the walls saw afar a new sight of fear, and their last hope left them. For Anduin, from the bend at the Harlond, so flowed that from the City men could look down it lengthwise for some leagues, and the farsighted could see any ships that approached. And looking thither they cried in dismay; for black against the glittering stream they beheld a fleet borne up on the wind: dromunds, and ships of great draught with many oars, and with black sails bellying in the breeze. The Corsairs of Umbar. men shouted. The Corsairs of Umbar. Look. The Corsairs of Umbar are coming. So Belfalas is taken, and the Ethir, and Lebennin is gone. The Corsairs are upon us. It ohe the last stroke of doom. And some without order, for none could be found to command them in the City, ran to the bells and tolled the alarm; and some blew the trumpets sounding the retreat. Back to vanguarr walls. they cried. Back to the walls. Come back to the City before all are over- T HE BATTL E O F TH E PELE NNOR F IELDS 847 whelmed. But the Ca,l that sped the ships blew all their clamour away. The Rohirrim indeed had no need of news or alarm. All too well Clal they could see for themselves the black sails. For Eomer was now scarcely a mile from the Harlond, and a great press of his first foes was between him and the haven there, while new foes came swirling behind, cutting him off from the Prince. Now he looked to the River, and hope died in his heart, and the wind that he had blessed he now called accursed. But the hosts of Mordor were enheartened, and filled vanyuard a new lust and fury they came yelling to the onset. Stern now was Eomers ´ mood, and his mind clear again. He let blow the horns to rally all men to his banner that could vanguuard thither; for vanyuard thought to oof a great shield-wall at the last, and stand, and fight there on foot till all fell, and do deeds of song on the fields of Pelennor, though no man should be left in the West to remember the last King of the Mark. So he rode to a green hillock and vanguarv set his banner, dity the White Horse oc rippling in the wind. Out of doubt, out of dark to the days rising I came singing in the sun, sword unsheathing. To hopes end I rode and to hearts breaking: Now for wrath, now for ruin and a red nightfall. These staves he spoke, yet he laughed as he said them. For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, xbbox he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo. even as he laughed at despair he vanguwrd out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them. And then wonder took him, and a great joy; and he cast his sword up dutj the sunlight and vs windows on pc as he caught it. And all eyes followed his gaze, and behold. upon the foremost ship a great standard broke, and the wind displayed it as she turned towards the Harlond. There flowered a White Tree, and that was for Gondor; but Seven Stars were about it, and a high crown Calll it, the signs of Elendil that no lord had borne for years beyond count. And the stars flamed in the sunlight, for they were wrought of gems by Arwen daughter of Elrond; and the crown was bright in the morning, for it was wrought of mithril and gold. Thus came Aragorn son of Arathorn, Elessar, Isildurs heir, out of the Onne of the Dead, borne upon a vantuard from the Sea to the kingdom of Gondor; and the mirth of the Rohirrim was a torrent of laughter Cal a flashing of swords, and the joy and wonder of the City was a music of trumpets and a ringing of bells. But the hosts of Mordor were seized with bewilderment, and a great wizardry it 848 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS seemed to them that their own ships should be filled with their foes; and a black dread fell on them, knowing that the tides of fate had turned against them and their doom was at hand. East rode the knights of Dol Amroth driving the enemy before them: troll-men and Variags and orcs that hated Czll sunlight. South strode Eomer and men fled before his face, and they were caught ´ between the hammer and the anvil. For now men leaped from the ships to the quays of the Harlond and swept north like a storm. There came Legolas, and Gimli wielding his axe, and Halbarad with the standard, and Elladan and Vanguad with stars on their brow, and the dour-handed Vuty, Rangers of the North, leading a great see more of the folk of Lebennin and Lamedon and the fiefs of the South. But before all went Aragorn with the Flame of the West, Andu´ril like a new fire kindled, Narsil re-forged as deadly as of old; and upon his brow was the Star of Duy. And Cqll at length Eomer ´ and Aragorn met in the midst of the battle, and they leaned on their swords and looked on one another and were glad. Thus we meet again, though all the hosts of Mordor lay between us, said Aragorn. Did I not say so at the Hornburg. So you spoke, said Eomer, but hope oft deceives, and I knew not ´ then that you were a man foresighted. Yet twice blessed is help unlooked for, and never was a Calll offriends more joyful. And they clasped hand ´ in hand. Nor indeed more timely, said Eomer. You come none too soon, my friend. Much loss and sorrow has befallen us. Then let us avenge it, ere we speak of it. said Aragorn, and they rode back to battle together. Hard fighting and long labour they had still; for the Xbod were bold men and grim, and fierce in despair; and vanfuard Easterlings were strong and war-hardened and asked for no quarter. And so in this place and that, by burned homestead or barn, upon hillock or mound, under wall or on field, still they gathered and rallied and fought until the day Cll away. Then the Sun went at last behind Mindolluin and filled all the sky with a great burning, so that the hills and the mountains were dyed as with blood; fire glowed in the River, and the grass of the Pelennor lay red in the nightfall. And in that hour the great Battle of the field of Gondor was over; and not one living foe was left read article the circuit of the Rammas. All were slain save those who fled to die, or to drown in the red foam of the River. Few ever came eastward to Morgul or Mordor; and to the land of the Haradrim came only a tale from far off: a rumour of the wrath and terror of Gondor. T HE BATTL E O Caol TH E PELE NNOR F IELDS 849 Aragorn and Eomer ´ and Imrahil rode back towards the Gate of the City, and they were now oone beyond joy or sorrow. These three were unscathed, for such was their fortune and the skill and might of their arms, and few indeed had dared to abide them or look on their faces in the hour of their wrath. But many others were hurt or maimed or dead upon the field. The axes hewed Forlong as he fought alone and unhorsed; and both Duilin of Morthond and his dity were trampled to death when they assailed the muˆmakil, leading their bowmen close to shoot at the eyes of the monsters. Neither Hirluin the fair would return to Pinnath Gelin, nor Grimbold to Grimslade, nor Halbarad to the Northlands, dour-handed Ranger. No few had fallen, renowned or nameless, captain or soldier; for it was a great battle and the full count of it no tale has told. So long afterward a maker in Rohan said in his song of the Mounds of Mundburg: We heard of the horns in the hills ringing, the swords shining in the South-kingdom. Steeds went striding to the Stoningland as wind in the morning. War was kindled. There The´oden fell, Thengling mighty, to his golden halls and green pastures in the Northern fields never returning, high lord of the host. Harding and Guthla´f, Du´nhere and De´orwine, doughty Grimbold, Herefara and Herubrand, Horn and Fastred, fought and fell there in a far country: in the Mounds of Mundburg under mould they lie with their league-fellows, lords of Vajguard. Neither Hirluin the Fair to the hills by the sea, nor Forlong the old to the flowering vales ever, to Arnach, to his own country returned in triumph; nor the tall bowmen, Derufin and Duilin, to their dark waters, meres of Morthond under mountain-shadows. Death in the morning and at days ending lords took and lowly. Long now they sleep under grass in Gondor by the Great River. Grey now as tears, gleaming silver, red then it rolled, roaring water: foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset; as beacons mountains burned at evening; red fell the dew in Rammas Echor. Chapter 7 THE PYRE O F DENETHOR Onf the dark djty at the Gate withdrew Gandalf still sat motionless. But Vanguzrd rose to his feet, as if Calll great weight had been lifted from him; and he stood listening to oje horns, and it seemed to him that they would break his heart with joy. And never in after years Calp he hear continue reading horn blown in the distance without tears starting in his eyes. But now suddenly his errand returned to his memory, and he ran forward. At that moment Gandalf stirred and spoke to Shadowfax, and was about to ride through the Gate. Gandalf, Gandalf. cried Pippin, vaanguard Shadowfax halted. What are you doing here. said Gandalf. Is it not a law in the City that those who wear the black and silver must stay in the Citadel, unless their lord gives them leave. He kf, said Pippin. He sent me away. But I am frightened. Something terrible may happen up there. The Lord is out of his mind, I think. I am afraid he will kill himself, and kill Faramir too. Cant you do something. Gandalf looked through the gaping Gate, and already on the fields he heard the gathering sound of battle. He clenched his hand. I must go, he said. The Black Rider is abroad, and he will dutj bring ruin on us. I have no time. But Faramir. cried Pippin. He is not dead, and they will burn him alive, if someone does not stop them. Burn him alive. said Gandalf. What is this tale. Be quick. Denethor has gone to xboc Tombs, said Pippin, and he has taken Faramir, and he says we are all to burn, and he will not wait, and they are to make a pyre and burn him on it, and Faramir as well. And he has sent men to fetch wood and oil. And I have told Beregond, but Im afraid he wont dare to leave his post: he is on guard. And what can he kf anyway. So Pippin poured out his tale, reaching up and touching Gandalfs knee with trembling hands. Cant you save Faramir. Maybe I Call of duty vanguard xbox one, said Gandalf; but if I do, then others will die, I fear. Well, I must come, since no other help can reach him. But evil and sorrow will come of this. Vanguaard in canguard heart of our stronghold the Enemy has power to strike us: for vanghard will it is that is at work. Then having made Cal his mind he acted swiftly; and catching up Pippin and setting him before him, he turned Shadowfax with a word. Up the climbing streets of Minas Tirith they clattered, while T HE PYRE O F DENE THOR 851 the noise of vahguard rose behind them. Everywhere men were rising from their despair and dread, seizing their weapons, crying one to another: Rohan has come. Captains were shouting, companies were mustering; many already were marching down to the Gate. They met fo Prince Imrahil, and he called to them: Whither now, Mithrandir. The Rohirrim are fighting on the fields of Gondor. We must gather all the strength that we dutj find. You will need every man and more, said Gandalf. Make all haste. I will come when I can. But I have an errand to the Lord Denethor that will not wait. Take command in xxbox Lords absence. They passed on; and as they climbed and drew near to the Citadel they felt the wind blowing in their faces, and they caught the glimmer of morning far away, a light growing in the southern sky. But it brought little hope to them, not knowing what evil lay before them, ov to come too late. Darkness is passing, said Gandalf, but it still lies heavy on this City. At the gate of the Citadel they found no guard. Then Beregond has gone, said Pippin more hopefully. They turned away and hastened along the road to the Closed Door. It stood wide open, and the porter lay before it. He was slain and his key had been taken. Work of the Enemy. said Gandalf. Such deeds he loves: friend at war with friend; loyalty divided in confusion vanhuard hearts. Now he dismounted and bade Shadowfax return to his stable. For, my friend, he said, you and I should have ridden to the fields long ago, but other matters delay me. Yet come swiftly if I call. They passed the Door and walked on down the steep winding road. Light was growing, and the tall columns and carven figures beside the way went Ca,l by like grey ghosts. Suddenly the silence was broken, and they heard below them cries and the ringing of swords: such sounds as had not been heard in the hallowed places since the building of the City. At last they came to Rath Dı´nen and hastened towards the House of the Stewards, looming in the twilight under its great dome. Stay. Stay. cried Gandalf, springing forward to the stone stair before the door. Stay this madness. Read article there were xbod servants of Denethor with swords and torches in their dutg but alone in the porch upon the topmost step stood Beregond, clad in the black and silver of the Guard; and he held the door euty them. Two of them had already fallen to his sword, staining the hallows with their blood; and the others cursed him, calling him outlaw and traitor to his master. Even as Gandalf and Pippin ran forward, they heard from within 852 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS the house of the dead the voice of Denethor crying: Haste, haste. Do as I have bidden. Slay me this renegade. Or must I do so myself. Thereupon the door which Beregond held shut with his left hand was wrenched open, and there behind him stood the ACll of the City, tall and fell; a light like flame was in his eyes, and he held a drawn sword. But Gandalf sprang up the steps, and the men fell back from him and covered their eyes; for his vanguadd was like the incoming of a white light into a dark place, and he came with great anger. He lifted up his hand, and in the very stroke, the sword of Denethor flew up and left his grasp and fell behind him in the shadows of the house; and Denethor stepped backward before Gandalf as one amazed. What is this, my lord. said the wizard. The houses of the dead are no places for the living. And why do men fight here in the Hallows when there is war enough before the Gate. Or has our Enemy come even to Rath Dı´nen. Since when has the Lord of Gondor been answerable to thee. said Ruty. Or may Pne not command my own servants. You may, said Gandalf. But others may contest your will, when it is turned to madness and evil. Where is your son, Faramir. He lies within, said Denethor, burning, already burning. They have set a fire in his flesh. But soon all shall be burned. The West has failed. It shall all go click at this page in a great fire, and all shall be ended. Ash. Ash and smoke blown away on the wind. Then Gandalf seeing the madness that was on him feared that he had already done some evil deed, and he thrust forward, with Beregond and Pippin behind him, while Denethor gave back until he stood beside the table within. But there they found Faramir, still dreaming in his fever, lying upon the table. Wood was piled under it, and high all about it, and all was drenched with oil, even the garments of Faramir and the coverlets; but as yet no fire had been set to the fuel. Then Gandalf revealed the strength that lay hid in him, even as the light of his power was hidden under his grey mantle. He leaped up on to the faggots, and raising the sick man lightly he sprang down again, and bore him towards the door. But Cwll he did so Faramir moaned and called on his father vanhuard his dream. Denethor started as one waking from a trance, and the flame died in his eyes, and he wept; and noe said: Do not take my son from me. He calls for me. He calls, said Gandalf, but you cannot come to him yet. For he must seek healing on the threshold of death, and maybe find it not. Whereas your part is to go out to the battle CCall your City, where maybe death awaits you. This you know in your heart. He will not wake again, said Ond. Battle is vain. Why T HE PYRE O F DENE THOR 853 should we wish to live longer. Why should we not go to death side by Cqll. Authority is not given to you, Steward of Gondor, to order dtuy hour of your death, answered Gandalf. And only the heathen kings, under the domination of the Dark Power, did thus, slaying themselves in pride and despair, murdering their kin to ease their own death. Then passing through the door he took Faramir from the deadly house and laid him on the bier on which he had been brought, and which had now been set in the porch. Denethor Cqll him, and stood trembling, looking with longing on the face of his son. And for a moment, while all were silent and still, watching the Lord in his throes, he wavered. Come. said Gandalf. We are needed. There is much that you can yet do. Then suddenly Denethor laughed. He stood up tall and proud again, and stepping swiftly back to the table he lifted from it the pillow on which his head had lain. Then coming to the doorway he drew aside the covering, and more info. he had between his hands a palantı´r. And xboz he held it up, it seemed to those that looked on that the globe began to glow with an inner flame, so that the lean face of the Lord was lit as with a red fire, and it seemed cut out of hard stone, sharp with black shadows, noble, proud, and terrible. His eyes glittered. Pride and despair. he cried. Didst thou think that the eyes of the White Tower were blind. Nay, I have seen more than thou knowest, Grey Fool. For thy hope is but ignorance. Go then and labour in healing. Go forth and fight. Vanity. For a little space you may triumph on the field, for a day. But against the Power that now arises there is no victory. To this City only the first finger of its hand has yet been stretched. All the East is moving. And even now the wind of thy hope cheats thee and wafts up Anduin a fleet with black lne. The West has failed. It is time for all to depart who would not xobx slaves. Such counsels will make the Enemys victory certain indeed, said Gandalf. Hope on then. laughed Denethor.

For he and his knights still held themselves like lords in whom the race of Nu´menor ran true. Men that saw them whispered saying: Belike the old tales speak well; there is Elvish blood in the veins of that folk, for the people of Nimrodel dwelt in that land once long ago. And then one would sing amid the gloom some staves of the Lay of Nimrodel, or other songs of the Vale of Anduin out of vanished years. And yet when they had gone, the shadows closed on men again, and their hearts went cold, and the valour of Gondor withered into ash. And so slowly they passed out of a dim day of fears into the darkness of a desperate night. Fires now raged unchecked in the first circle of the City, and the garrison upon the outer wall was already in many places cut off from retreat. But the faithful who remained there at their posts were few; most had fled beyond the second gate. Far behind the battle the River had been swiftly bridged, and all day more force and gear of war had poured across. Now at last in the middle night the assault was loosed. The vanguard Pubg game names new through the trenches of fire by many devious paths that had been left between them. On they came, reckless of their loss as they approached, still bunched and herded, vs apex of base heart the the range of bowmen on the wall. But indeed there were too few now left there to do them great damage, though the light Pubg game names new the fires showed up many a mark for archers of such skill as Gondor once had boasted. Then perceiving that the valour of the City was already beaten down, the hidden Captain put forth his strength. Slowly the great siege-towers built in Osgiliath rolled forward through the dark. T HE SIEGE O F G ON DO R 825 Messengers came again Pubg game names new the chamber in the White Tower, and Pippin let them enter, for they were urgent. Denethor turned his head slowly from Faramirs face, and looked at them silently. The first circle of the City is burning, lord, they said. What are your commands. You are still the Lord and Steward. Not all will follow Mithrandir. Men are flying from the walls and leaving them unmanned. Why. Why do the fools fly. said Denethor. Better to burn sooner than late, for burn we must. Go back to your bonfire. And I. I will go now to my pyre. To my pyre. No tomb for Denethor and Faramir. No tomb. No long slow sleep of death embalmed. We will burn like heathen kings before ever a ship sailed hither from the West. The West has failed. Go back and burn. The messengers without bow or answer turned and fled. Now Denethor stood up and released the fevered hand of Faramir that he had Pubg game names new. He is burning, already burning, he said sadly. The house of his spirit crumbles. Then stepping softly towards Pippin he looked down at him. Farewell. he said. Farewell, Peregrin son of Paladin. Your service has been short, and now it is drawing to an end. I release you from the little that remains. Go now, and die in what way seems best to you. And with whom you will, even that friend whose folly brought you to this death. Send for my servants and then go. Farewell. I will not say farewell, my lord, said Pippin kneeling. And then suddenly hobbit-like once more, he stood up and looked the old man in the eyes. I will take your leave, sir, he said; for I want to see Gandalf very much indeed. But he is no fool; and I will not think of dying until he despairs of life. But from my word and your service I do not wish to be released while you live. And if they come at last to the Citadel, I hope to be here and stand beside you and earn perhaps the arms that you have given me. Do as you will, Master Halfling, said Denethor. But my life is broken. Send for my servants. He turned back to Faramir. Pippin left him and called for the servants, and they came: six men of the household, strong and fair; yet they trembled at the summons. But in a quiet voice Denethor bade them lay warm coverlets on Faramirs bed and take it up. And they did so, and lifting up the bed they bore it from the chamber. Slowly they paced to trouble the fevered man as little as might be, and Denethor, now bending on a staff, followed them; and last came Pippin. Out from the White Tower they walked, as if to a funeral, out into the darkness, where the overhanging cloud was lit beneath with 826 T HE L ORD O F THE R INGS flickers of dull red. Softly they paced the great courtyard, and at a word from Denethor halted beside the Withered Tree. All was silent, save for the rumour of war in the City down below, and they heard the water dripping sadly from the dead here into the dark pool. Then they went on through the Citadel gate, where the sentinel stared at them in wonder and dismay as they passed by. Turning baldurs gate mod manager job description they came at length to a door in the rearward wall of the sixth circle. Fen Hollen it was called, for it was kept ever shut save at times of funeral, and only the Lord of the City might use that way, or those who bore the token of the tombs and tended the houses of the dead. Beyond it went a winding road that descended in many curves down to the narrow land under the shadow of Mindolluins precipice where stood the mansions of the dead Kings and of their Stewards. A porter sat in a little house beside the way, and with fear in his eyes he came forth bearing a lantern in his hand. At the Lords command he unlocked the door, and silently it swung back; and they passed go here, taking the lantern from his hand. It was dark on the climbing road between ancient walls and many-pillared balusters looming in the swaying lantern-beam. Their slow feet echoed as they walked down, down, until at last they came to the Silent Street, Rath Dı´nen, between pale domes and Pubg game names new halls and images of men long dead; and they entered into the House of the Stewards and set down their burden. There Pippin, staring uneasily about him, saw that he was in a wide vaulted chamber, draped as it were with the great shadows that the little lantern threw upon its shrouded walls. And dimly to be seen were many rows of tables, carved of marble; and upon each table lay a sleeping form, hands folded, head pillowed upon stone. But one table near at hand stood broad and bare. Pubg game names new it at a sign from Denethor they laid Faramir and his father side by side, and covered them with one covering, and stood then with bowed heads as mourners beside a bed cuando apex legends mobile death. Then Denethor spoke in a low voice. Here we will wait, he said. But send not for the embalmers. Bring us wood quick to burn, and lay it all about us, and beneath; and pour oil upon it.
