Apareci\u00f3 el se\u00f1or de los Nazg\u00fbl, cabalgando. Apareci\u00f3 como una enorme forma negra sobre las llamas, una ominosa se\u00f1al de desesperanza. Cabalg\u00f3 el se\u00f1or de los Nazg\u00fbl por debajo del umbral que ning\u00fan enemigo hab\u00eda atravesado a\u00fan, mientras todos hu\u00edan a su paso. Todos excepto uno; esperando en silencio, sereno, en el espacio antes de la puerta, montaba Gandalf sobre Mantogr\u00eds, aguantando el horror, inm\u00f3vil, imp\u00e1vido, cual si fuera una estatua tallada en Rath D\u00ednen, \u00fanico entre los corceles que a\u00fan trotaban libres sobre la tierra.
– \u00a1No puedes pasar! – dijo Gandalf, y la sombra negra se detuvo – \u00a1Regresa al abismo que te espera! \u00a1Retrocede! H\u00fandete en el vac\u00edo reservado a ti y a tu amo. \u00a1Fuera!
El jinete negro hizo su capucha atr\u00e1s, y \u00a1he aqu\u00ed, que ten\u00eda una corona se\u00f1orial! Pero ninguna cabeza la sosten\u00eda. Un fuego escarlata resplandec\u00eda entre los amplios y oscuros hombros cubiertos por la capa, y la corona. Una l\u00fagubre carcajada surgi\u00f3 de una boca invisible:
– \u00a1Viejo est\u00fapido! – dijo – \u00a1Viejo est\u00fapido! Esta es mi victoria. \u00bfAcaso no reconoces a la Muerte cuando la miras? \u00a1Muere, y maldice en vano!
Y as\u00ed, alz\u00f3 por todo lo alto su espada, y la hoja llameaba. Gandalf no retrocedi\u00f3. Pero en ese preciso momento, lejos, en alg\u00fan jard\u00edn de la Ciudad, un gallo cant\u00f3. Era un canto l\u00edmpido, que no respond\u00eda ni a la magia ni a la guerra, sino que recib\u00eda al amanecer en el cielo amplio, que se anunciaba sobre las penumbras de la muerte. Y, como si le respondiera, otro sonido se escuch\u00f3 a lo lejos. Cuernos. Cuernos. Cuernos. En las laderas del sombr\u00edo Mindolluin resonaron sus ecos: el soplido de ind\u00f3mitos cuernos del Norte. Al fin hab\u00edan llegado los de Rohan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Este es el fragmento original:<\/p>\n

In rode the Lord of the Nazg\u00fbl. A great black shape against the fires beyond he loomed up, grown to a vast menace of despair. In rode the Lord of the Nazg\u00fbl, under the archway that no enemy ever yet passed, and all fled before his face. All save one. There waiting, silent and still in the space before the Gate, sat Gandalf upon Shadowfax: Shadowfax who alone among the free horses of the earth endured the terror, unmoving, steadfast as a graven image in Rath D\u00ednen. \u201cYou cannot enter here,\u201d said Gandalf, and the huge shadow halted. \u201cGo back to the abyss prepared for you! Go back! Fall into the nothingness that awaits you and your Master. Go!\u201d The black rider flung back his hood, and behold! he had a kingly crown; and yet upon no head visible was it set. The red fires shone between it and the mantled shoulders vast and dark. From a mouth unseen there came a deadly laughter. \u201cOld fool!\u201d he said. \u201cOld fool! This is my hour. Do you not know Death when you see it? Die now and curse in vain!\u201d And with that he lifted high his sword and flames ran down the blade. Gandalf did not move. And in that very moment, away behind in some courtyard of the City, a cock crowed. Shrill and clear he crowed, recking nothing of wizardry or war, welcoming only the morning that in the sky far above the shadows of death was coming with the dawn. And as if in answer there came from far away another note. Horns, horns, horns. In dark Mindolluin\u2019s sides they dimly echoed. Great horns of the North wildly blowing. Rohan had come at last. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
