sudden fury that amazed Sam�察�and Gollum also。 Even so things might have gone far otherwise�察�if 
Gollum himself had remained unchanged�察�but whatever dreadful paths�察�lonely and hungry and 
waterless�察�he had trodden�察�driven by a devouring desire and a terrible fear�察�they had left grievous 
marks on him。 He was a lean�察�starved�察�haggard thing�察�all bones and tight´drawn sallow skin。 A wild 
light flamed in his eyes�察�but his malice was no longer matched by his old griping strength。 Frodo 
flung him off and rose up quivering。
     'Down�察�down��' he gasped�察�clutching his hand to his breast�察�so that beneath the cover of his 
leather shirt he clasped the Ring。 'Down you creeping thing�察�and out of my path� �Your time is at an 
end。 You cannot betray me or slay me now。'
     Then suddenly�察�as before under the eaves of the Emyn Muil�察�Sam saw these two rivals with 
other vision。 A crouching shape�察�scarcely more than the shadow of a living thing�察�a creature now 
wholly ruined and defeated�察�yet filled with a hideous lust and rage�察�and before it stood stern�察�
untouchable now by pity�察�a figure robed in white�察�but at its breast it held a wheel of fire。 Out of the 
fire there spoke a manding voice。
     'Begone�察�and trouble me no more� �If you touch me ever again�察�you shall be cast yourself into the 
Fire of Doom。'
     The crouching shape backed away�察�terror in its blinking eyes�察�and yet at the same time insatiable 
desire。
     Then the vision passed and Sam saw Frodo standing�察�hand on breast�察�his breath ing in great 
gasps�察�and Gollum at his feet�察�resting on his knees with his wide´splayed hands upon the ground。
     'Look out��' cried Sam。 'He'll spring��' He stepped forward�察�brandishing his sword。 'Quick�察�
Master��' he gasped。 'Go on� �Go on� �No time to lose。 I'll deal with him。 Go on��'
     Frodo looked at him as if at one now far away。 'Yes�察�I must go on��' he said。 'Farewell�察�Sam� �This 
is the end at last。 On Mount Doom doom shall fall。 Farewell��' He turned and went on�察�walking 
slowly but erect up the climbing path。

     'Now��' said Sam。 'At last I can deal with you��' He leaped forward with drawn blade ready for 
battle。 But Gollum did not spring。 He fell flat upon the ground and whimpered。
     'Don't kill us��' he wept。 'Don't hurt us with nassty cruel steel� �Let us live�察�yes�察�live just a little 
longer。 Lost lost� �We're lost。 And when Precious goes we'll die�察�yes�察�die into the dust。' He clawed 
up the ashes of the path with his long fleshless fingers。 'Dusst��' he hissed。
     Sam's hand wavered。 His mind was hot with wrath and the memory of evil。 It would be just to 
slay this treacherous�察�murderous creature�察�just and many times deserved�察�and also it seemed the 
only safe thing to do。 But deep in his heart there was something that restrained him�此�he could not 
strike this thing lying in the dust�察�forlorn�察�ruinous�察�utterly wretched。 He himself�察�though only for a 
little while�察�had borne the Ring�察�and now dimly he guessed the agony of Gollum's shrivelled mind 
and body�察�enslaved to that Ring�察�unable to find peace or relief ever in life again。 But Sam had no 
words to express what he felt。
     'Oh�察�curse you�察�you stinking thing��' he said。 'Go away� �Be off� �I don't trust you�察�not as far as I 
could kick you�察�but be off。 Or I _shall_ hurt you�察�yes�察�with nasty cruel steel。'
     Gollum got up on all fours�察�and backed away for several paces�察�and then he turned�察�and as Sam 
aimed a kick at him he fled away down the path。 Sam gave no more heed to him。 He suddenly 
remembered his master。 He looked up the path and could not see him。 As fast as he could he 
trudged up the road。 If he had looked back�察�he might have seen not far below Gollum turn again�察�
and then with a wild light of madness glaring in his eyes e�察�swiftly but warily�察�creeping on 
behind�察�a slinking shadow among the stones。
     The path climbed on。 Soon it bent again and。 with a last eastward course passed in a cutting 
along the face of the cone and came to the dark door in the Mountain's side�察�the door of the 
Sammath Naur。 Far away now rising towards the South the sun�察�piercing the smokes and haze�察�
burned ominous�察�a dull bleared disc of red�察�but all Mordor lay about the Mountain like a dead land�察�
silent�察�shadow´folded�察�waiting for some dreadful stroke。
     Sam came to the gaping mouth and peered in。 It was dark and hot�察�and a deep rumbling shook 
the air。 'Frodo� �Master��' he called。 There was no answer。 For a moment he stood�察�his heart beating 
with wild fears�察�and then he plunged in。 A shadow followed him。
     At first he could see nothing。 In his great need he drew out once more the phial of Galadriel�察�but 
it was pale and cold in his trembling hand and threw no light into that stifling dark。 He was e to 
the heart of the realm of Sauron and the forges of his ancient might�察�greatest in Middle´earth�察�all 
other powers were here subdued。 Fearfully he took a few uncertain steps in the dark�察�and then all at 
once there came a flash of red that leaped upward�察�and smote the high black roof。 Then Sam saw 
that he was in a long cave or tunnel that bored into the Mountain's smoking cone。 But only a short 
way ahead its floor and the walls on either side were cloven by a great fissure�察�out of which the red 
glare came�察�now leaping up�察�now dying down into darkness�察�and all the while far below there was a 
rumour and a trouble as of great engines throbbing and labouring。
     The light sprang up again�察�and there on the brink of the chasm�察�at the very Crack of Doom�察�stood 
Frodo�察�black against the glare�察�tense�察�erect�察�but still as if he had been turned to stone。
     'Master��' cried Sam。
     Then Frodo stirred and spoke with a clear voice�察�indeed with a voice clearer and more powerful 
than Sam had ever heard him use�察�and it rose above the throb and turmoil of Mount Doom�察�ringing 
in the roof and walls。
     'I have e��' he said。 'But I do not choose now to do what I came to do。 I will not do this deed。 
The Ring is mine��' And suddenly�察�as he set it on his finger�察�he vanished from Sam's sight。 Sam 
gasped�察�but he had no chance to cry out�察�for at that moment many things happened。
     Something struck Sam violently in the back�察�his legs were knocked from under him and he was 
flung aside�察�striking his head against the stony floor�察�as a dark shape sprang over him。 He lay still 
and for a moment all went black。
     And far away�察�as Frodo put on the Ring and claimed it for his own�察�even in Sammath Naur the 
very heart of his realm�察�the Power in Barad´d��r was shaken�察�and the Tower trembled from its 
foundations to its proud and bitter crown。 The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him�察�and his Eye 
piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made�察�and the magnitude of his 
own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash�察�and all the devices of his enemies were at last 
laid bare。 Then his wrath blazed in consuming flame�察�but his fear rose like a vast black smoke to 
choke him。 For he knew his deadly peril and the thread upon which his doom now hung。
     From all his policies and webs of fear and treachery�察�from all his stratagems and wars his mind 
shook free�察�and throughout his realm a tremor ran�察�his slaves quailed�察�and his armies halted�察�and his 
captains suddenly steerless�察�bereft of will�察�wavered and despaired。 For they were forgotten。 The 
whole mind and purpose of the Power that wielded them was now bent with overwhelming force 
upon the Mountain。 At his summons�察�wheeling with a rending cry�察�in a last desperate race there 
flew�察�faster than the winds�察�the Nazg��l the Ringwraiths�察�and with a storm of wings they hurtled 
southwards to Mount Doom。
     Sam got up。 He was dazed�察�and blood streaming from his head dripped in his eyes。 He groped 
forward�察�and then he saw a strange and terrible thing。 Gollum on the edge of the abyss was fighting 
like a mad thing with an unseen foe。 To and fro he swayed�察�now so near the brink that almost he 
tumbled in�察�now dragging back�察�falling to the ground�察�rising�察�and falling again。 And all the while he 
hissed but spoke no words。
     The fires below awoke in anger�察�the red light blazed�察�and all the cavern was filled with a great 
glare and heat。 Suddenly Sam saw Gollum's long hands draw upwards to his mouth�察�his white fangs 
gleamed�察�and then snapped as they bit。 Frodo gave a cry�察�and there he was�察�fallen upon his knees at 
the chasm's edge。 But Gollum�察�dancing like a mad thing�察�held aloft the ring�察�a finger still thrust 
within its circle。 It shone now as if verily it was wrought of living fire。
     'Precious�察�precious�察�precious��' Gollum cried。 'My Precious� �O my Precious��' And with that�察�even 
as his eyes were lifted up to gloat on his prize�察�he stepped too far�察�toppled�察�wavered for a moment 
on the brink�察�and then with a shriek he fell。 Out of the depths came his last wail _Precious_�察�and he 
was gone。
     There was a roar and a great confusion of noise。 Fires leaped up and licked the roof。 The 
throbbing grew to a great tumult�察�and the Mountain shook。 Sam ran to Frodo and picked him up and 
carried him。 out to the door。 And there upon the dark threshold of the Sammath Naur�察�high above 
the plains of Mordor�察�such wonder and terror came on him that he stood still forgetting all else�察�and 
gazed as one turned to stone。
     A brief vision he had of swirling cloud�察�and in the midst of it towers and battlements�察�tall as hills�察�
founded upon a mighty mountain´throne above immeasurable pits�察�great courts and dungeons�察�
eyeless prisons sheer as cliffs�察�and gaping gates of steel and adamant�此�and then all passed。 Towers 
fell and mountains slid�察�walls crumbled and melted�察�crashing down�察�vast spires of smoke and 
spouting steams went billowing up�察�up�察�until they toppled like an overwhelming wave�察�and its wild 
crest curled and came foaming down upon the land。 And then at last over the miles between there 
came a rumble�察�rising to a deafening crash and roar�察�the earth shook�察�the plain heaved and cracked�察�
and Orodruin reeled。 Fire belched from its riven summit。 The skies burst into thunder seared with 
lightning。 Down like lashing whips fell a torrent of black rain。 And into the heart of the storm�察�with 
a cry that pierced all other sounds�察�t
