    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “Journey’s end

    In western lands beneath the Sun
    The flowers may rise in Spring,
    The trees may bud, the waters run,
    The merry finches sing.
    Or there maybe 'tis cloudless night,
    And swaying branches bear
    The Elven-stars as jewels white
    Amid their branching hair.

    Though here at journey's end I lie
    In darkness buried deep,
    Beyond all towers strong and high,
    Beyond all mountains steep,
    Above all shadows rides the Sun
    And Stars for ever dwell:
    I will not say the Day is done,
    Nor bid the Stars farewell.J.”
    J.R.R. Tolkien

    “If you are speaking of music...it is of all subjects my delight. There are few people in England I suppose, who have more true enjoyment of music than myself, or a better natural taste. If I had ever learnt, I should have been a great proficient. And so would Anne, if her health would have allowed her to apply. I am confident that she would have performed delightfully. - Lady Catherine de Bourgh in Pride and Prejudice”
    Jane Austen

    J.R.R. Tolkien
    “Where now are the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing?
    Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?
    Where is the harp on the harpstring, and the red fire glowing?
    Where is the spring and the harvest and the tall corn growing?
    They have passed like rain on the mountain, like a wind in the meadow;
    The days have gone down in the West behind the hills into shadow.
    Who shall gather the smoke of the deadwood burning,
    Or behold the flowing years from the Sea returning?”
    J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
