![]() ![]() There may not be any quotes there you can use, but it’s a nice read, lol. There’s an excerpt from a letter Tolkien wrote about his wife soon after her death, and it’s pretty frickin romantic, I think. Roads connect places: they get you from a-to-b. They have cars pulling over to park, or pulling out from side-streets, and buses stopping and starting. They have sidewalks which provide access to property, homes and businesses. Streets have intersections with crosswalks. “ That thus whatever grief might lie in wait, the fates of Beren and Luthien might be joined, and their paths lead together beyond the confines of the world.” This is from the end of Beren and Luthien’s story, when Luthien chose to become mortal to stay with Beren.Īlso, it’s not from The Silmarillion itself, but I recommend you take a look at this post about the similarities between Luthien and Mrs. Streets are the spaces between buildings.Definitely speaks of devotion and loyalty. ” This is Luthien speaking to Beren after she rescued him from Sauron.
