artbyanca: Love beneath the trees Thingol and Melian meet in the woods of Nan Elmoth ‘No word she spoke but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand; and straightaway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus, hand in hand, while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark ere they spoke any word to one another.’ JRR Tolkien: The Silmarillion Chapter 4: Of Thingol and Melian Beren and Luthien meet in the woods of Doriath. Again she fled, but swift he came.Tinuviel! Tinuviel!He called her by her elvish name;And there she halted listening.One moment stood she, and a spellHis voice laid on her: Beren came,And doom fell on TinuvielThat in his arms lay glistening.As Beren looked into her eyesWithin the shadows of her hair,The trembling starlight of the skiesHe saw there mirrored shimmering.Tinuviel the elven-fair,Immortal maiden elven-wise,About him cast her shadowy hairAnd arms like silver glimmering. “Lay of Leithian” by J.R.R Tolkien Ink and colored pencils -- source link
