But Tilion went with uncertain pace, as yet he goes, and was still drawn towards Arien, as he shall ever be; so that both may be seen above Earth together, or at time it will chance that he comes so nigh that his shadows cut off her brightness and there is a darkness amid the day. - The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien
Morgoth set his left foot upon his neck, and the weight of it was like a fallen hill. Yet with his last and desperate stroke Fingolfin hewed the foot with Ringil, and the blood gushed forth black and smoking and filled the pits of Grond. Thus died Fingolfin, High King of the Noldor, most proud and valiant of the Elven-Kings of old. The Orcs made no boast of that duel at the gate; neither do the Elves sing of it, for their sorrow is too deep. - The Silmarillion, J.R.R. Tolkien |
