It is not our part to master all the tides of the world, but to do what is in us for the succour of those years wherein we are set, uprooting the evil in the fields that we know, so that those who live after may have clean earth to till. What weather they shall have is not ours to rule.

May Ephel Dúath shine in the West again tonight.
I believe the star Sam saw was the star of Eärendil, which was deeply meaningful for Tolkien and is important in the Silmarilion. Ephel Dúath was where Sam and Frodo were when he saw it.
