J. R. R. Tolkien: "Shadowfax melemparkan kepalanya dan berteriak keras...

"Shadowfax melemparkan kepalanya dan berteriak keras, seolah-olah terompet memanggilnya untuk bertarung. Lalu dia melompat maju. Api terbang dari kakinya; malam menyerbunya. Ketika perlahan-lahan tertidur, Pippin memiliki perasaan aneh: dia dan Gandalf masih seperti batu, duduk di atas patung kuda yang berlari, sementara dunia berguling di bawah kakinya dengan suara angin yang kencang."

--- J. R. R. Tolkien

Versi Bahasa Inggris

Shadowfax tossed his head and cried aloud, as if a trumpet had summoned him to battle. Then he sprang forward. Fire flew from his feet; night rushed over him. As he fell slowly into sleep, Pippin had a strange feeling: he and Gandalf were still as stone, seated upon the statue of a running horse, while the world rolled away beneath his feet with a great noise of wind.
