Chatterbox: Blab About Books

The Simarillion is the BEST book ever! Who is your favorite Valar? Mine is Varda. Who is your favorite character? Where would you want to be in the world of Middle Earth?

“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.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion

“And thus it came to pass that the Silmarils found their long homes: one in the airs of heaven, and one in the fires of the heart of the world, and one in the deep waters.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
