...recalling Lúthien dancing fair / with wild white roses in her hair, / remembering her elven voice that rung / while stars in twilight round her hung.”

“the song of lúthien released the bonds of winter, and the frozen waters spoke, and flowers sprang from the cold earth where her feet had passed".

Lúthien, also known as Tinúviel, was an Elf Maiden of Doriath, the wife of Beren Erchamion, and the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar that has ever lived. Her love of the man Beren, for which she was prepared to risk everything, even death itself, was legendary and lamented forever in song and story. She and Beren braved Morgoth's horrors, eventually winning the Silmaril and the respect of Thingol. Though their actions later resulted in both their deaths, their deeds won them the pity of Mandos and a second life in Middle-earth. (art credit)
