the tree that walks because someone made waiting an act of war
means In Tolkien's Middle-earth, an Ent is one of an ancient race of tree-like beings who shepherd the forests and move and speak with great deliberation.
from Tolkien lifted the word from Old English 'ent,' meaning a giant — the same word that gives us 'enta geweorc,' 'the work of giants,' an Anglo-Saxon phrase for the crumbling Roman ruins they found across Britain and assumed only giants could have built. He took that ghost of a giant and grew it into a walking tree.
