This is a pleasantly-meditative game, and an enjoyable experience overall. Thank you for it! ^_^

If I may ask, is the final phrase taken from The Lord of the Rings, specifically from Bilbo's poem of Strider?

I will note that, alas, the game didn't seem to work in Firefox, at least under Ubuntu 18.04.5 (I believe the version-number is). However, I was able to play by loading it in Chrome!

Thank you very much for playing, and for your kind words!

Indeed, you have identified the poem! It's a famous one - I hoped I'd be able to play on that familiarity.

Also thank you very much for bringing the Firefox issue to my attention. I'll look into it!

To the first and third, it's my pleasure! ^_^

To the second, ah, I'm glad that I identified the poem correctly! It was somewhat unexpected to encounter it so--but not unpleasant. ^_^

It's a good poem, I do think--so much of that books poetry is--and one with a wonderful power to it, I feel.

(It's also one of the few bits of poetry that I know pretty much by heart, end-to-end.)
