Tolkiens Arda – Sveriges stora Tolkienforum

Hej.

I "The Two Towers" finns en beskrivning av Erkenbrand i slutet av boken, då han kommer Théoden till hjälp i Helms Klyfta. Kan någon ge mig den engelska versionen av denna del? Alltså hela beskrivningen av hur Erkenbrand och hans soldater kommer dit.

There suddenly upon a ridge appeared a rider, clad in white, shining in the rising sun. Over the low hills the horns were sounding. Behind him, hastening down the long slopes, were a thousand men on foot; their swords were in their hands. Amid them strode a man tall and strong. His shield was red. As he came to the valley's brink, he set to his lips a great black horn and blew a ringing blast.

"Erkenbrand!" the riders shouted. "Erkenbrand!"
"Behold the White Rider!" cried Aragorn. "Gandalf is come again!"
"Mithrandir, Mithrandir! said Legolas. "This is wizardry indeed! Come! I would look on this forest, ere the spell changes."
The host of Isengard roared, swaying this way and that, turning from fear to fear. Again the horn sounded from the tower. Down through the breach of the Dike, charged the king's company. Down from the hills leaped Erkenbrand, lord of Westfold. Down leaped Shadowfax, like a deer that runs sure-footed in the mountains. The White Rider was upon them, and the terror of his coming filled the enemy with madness. The wild men fell on their faces before him. The Orcs reeled and screamed and cast aside both sword and spear. Like a black smoke driven by a mounting wind they fled. Wailing they passed under the waiting shadow of the trees; and from that shadow none came ever again.
