Hope

This refers to the beautiful moment from the Return of the King, when Sam and Frodo rest on their journey in Mordor, and Sam looks up and sees a shining star in the sky breaking through the clouds and poisonous fumes of the devastated, barren land.

“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach." - JRR Tolkien
