Let’s find the repeated phrases in The Lord of the Rings series. Here’s the plain text of Lord of the Rings series.

These are short length phrases that tell me what is the topic of the story, a history in the past.

#       the repeated phrase
1031    Frodo
115     ' said Gandalf
67      There was a
67      there was a

These are medium length phrases that strike my interests. The phrase show a style of story telling.

Four times this phrase is repeated, “One Ring to rule them all”. And this longer phrase is repeated twice, “One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them, One Ring to bring them all and in the…”

Each of these long phrase are repeated twice:

The Road goes ever on and on Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone, And I must follow, if I can, Pursuing it with

All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

To me that last phrase is a gem. It is fit to commit to memory. I wonder if anyone, other than me, will find this repeat analysis of English text will be of interest.
