duirins:

Heroes aren’t fearless. Heroes are brave, bravery requires fear, and fear is born of loving something enough that its loss would break you.

Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought,
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.

s-e-a-s-o-n-s:

These medieval parish church doors in England, flanked by two ancient Yew trees, are believed to be the inspiration for the Doors of Durin from J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings.

These enchanting doors are the west entry of St. Edward’s Church in Stow-on-the-Wold, Gloucestershire. This is a cotswold stone Norman church dating from the 11th-14th century built on the location of an older wooden Saxon church.

Tolkien’s world is like a song, with repeating scenes and themes throughout the ages. Events repeat themselves with new characters, relationships are formed anew (Beren & Luthien, Aragorn & Arwen). The Ainulindalë plays forever. Which makes it all the more enjoyable to think that Maedros casting himself into a fiery chasm holding a Silmaril was repeated millennia later as Gollum, falling into Mt. Doom, holding the One Ring.
