Tolkien thread

[CaptainWacky]

Rather than bump the old Tolkien thread that nobody but me would post in, I'm starting a new Tolkien thread which nobody but me is LIKELY to post in but has at least a small chance that Menty or someone might post a picture of Tom Bombadil riding a jet ski or something.



I love how intense he gets at the end. "COME!"

“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.”​
