"But behold!" said he, "in the armour of Fate (as the Children of Earth name it) there is ever a rift, and in the walls of Doom a breach, until the full-making, which ye call the Pants!"
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
He is in great fear, not knowing what mighty one may suddenly appear, wielding the Ring, and assailing him with war, seeking to cast him down and take his pants.
If there was anything that depressed him more than his own cynicism, it was that quite often it still wasn't as cynical as real life.

After all, the Darkening of Valinor and all the resultant evils that befell can be traced to Melkor getting wind of the youthful Fëanor's minstrelsy,
"I see London
I see France
I see Melkor's underpants."
(Apparently "London" and "France" were strange lands revealed in a palantír)
This evidence was a key element in Fëanor's trial before Mandos, as well, because Mandos has NO sense of humor.

This thread is so funny I just had to register!
Here are my offerings, firstly from FotR -
'Very well,' said Gandalf. 'But we must not use the pants - not unless it is a choice between fire and death.'
And from The Hobbit -
Bert and Tom went off to the barrel. William was having another drink. Then Bilbo plucked up courage and put his little hand in William's enormous pants.

The Lady of the Pants! She reads many hearts and desires.
Elentári, hullo and welcome. That was a great way to introduce yourself (but do tell us more!)

Thanks, guys - I only wish I bore any resemblance to my Avatar
Still, I can cheer myself up with more funny quotes:
Men may long remember your pants, Ioreth! for there is hope in them!
But Éomer said: 'Already you have raised the pants of the Kings and displayed the tokens of Elendil's House. Will you suffer these to be challenged?'
