  • Jovana Spasićhas quoted4 years ago
    Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,

    for ever blest, since here did lie

    and here with lissom limbs did run

    beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,

    Lúthien Tinúviel

    more fair than mortal tongue can tell.

    Though all to ruin fell the world

    and were dissolved and backward hurled

    unmade into the old abyss,

    yet were its making good, for this—

    the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea—

    that Lúthien for a time should be.
  • Jovana Spasićhas quoted4 years ago
    But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while still they endure for eyes to see, are their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song.
  • Jovana Spasićhas quoted4 years ago
    But he that sows lies in the end shall not lack of a harvest, and soon he may rest from toil indeed while others reap and sow in his stead.
  • Дмитрий Кувшиновhas quoted4 years ago
    And it seemed at last that there were two musics progressing at one time before the seat of Ilúvatar, and they were utterly at variance. The one was deep and wide and beautiful, but slow and blended with an immeasurable sorrow, from which its beauty chiefly came. The other had now achieved a unity of its own; but it was loud, and vain, and endlessly repeated; and it had little harmony, but rather a clamorous unison as of many trumpets braying upon a few notes.
