他曾经说：“这是一项危险的生意，弗罗多（Frodo）走出了门。您是否意识到这是经过Mirkwood的道路，如果您允许的话，它可能会带您到寂寞的山上，甚至更艰难的地方？
(It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out of your door," he used to say. "You step into the Road, and if you don't keep your feet, there is no knowing where you might be swept off to. Do you realize that this is the very path that goes through Mirkwood, and that if you let it, it might take you to the Lonely Mountain or even further and to worse places?)
