Ah yes . Tolkien . Reminds me of Psalm 49 ; No one can redeem the life of another or give to God a ransom for them—8 the ransom for a life is costly, no payment is ever enough—9 so that they should live on forever and not see decay.10 For all can see that the wise die, that the foolish and the senseless also perish, leaving their wealth to others.
