“Rivers of fire at dead of night
in winter lying cold and white
upon the plain burst forth, and high
the red was mirrored in the sky.”

“Thus Huan spake, who never before
had uttered words, and but twice more
did speak in elven tongue again;
'Lady beloved, whom all Men,
who Elfinesse, and whom all things
with fur and fell and feathered wings
should serve and love - arise! away!
Put on thy cloak! Before the day
comes over Nargothrond we fly
to Northern perils, thou and I.'
And ere he ceased he counsel wrought
for achievement of the thing they sought.
There Lúthien listened in amaze,
and softly on Huan did she gaze.
Her arms about his neck she cast -
In friendship that to death should last.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien , Beren and Lúthien

“But the story has gone crooked, and I am left, and I cannot plead before the inexorable Mandos.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, Beren and Lúthien

“The misty morning crawleth grey from dusk to the reluctant day.”
