“Suddenly, caught by the level beams, Frodo saw the old king’s (stone) head: it was lying rolled away by the roadside. ‘Look, Sam!’ he cried, startled into speech. ‘Look! The king has got a crown again.’

A trailing plant with flowers like small white stars had bound itself across the brows as if in reverence for the fallen king, and in the crevices of his stony hair yellow stonecrop gleamed.
‘They cannot conquer forever!’ said Frodo.

“Julius Caesar and the Roman Empire could’nt conquor the blue sky”
