revised and rewrote, I doubt that anything in the LotR is without
intention. I agree that he didn't have Faramir's interrogation in mind
when he wrote about Éomer's, but I bet you anything he had Éomer's in front of
him years later when he wrote up
Faramir's!
All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
