SciFi and Fantasy Art: Luthien (II)

The leaves were long, the grass was green, The hemlock-umbels tall and fair, And in a glade a light was seen Of stars in shadow shimmering. Tinuviel was dancing there To music of a pipe unseen, And light of stars was in her hair And in her raiment glimmering.

Then Beren came from mountains cold, And lost he wandered under leaves, And where the elven river rolled He walked alone and sorrowing. He peered between the hemlock-leaves, And saw in wonder flowers of gold Upon her mantels and her sleeves, And her hair like shadow following.

Enchantment healed his weary feet That over hills were doomed to roam; And forth he hastened, strong and fleet, And grasped at moonbeams glistening. Through woven woods in Elvenhome She lightly fled on dancing feet, And left him lonely still to roam In the silent forest listening. [...]

7 Jun 2004	Jamie Stolz	Loading... ~In reponse to Cancer-girls' post~ The story is from the Silmarillion, but indeed, this passage is included in the LOTR...can't remember if it's the appendex or if Aragorn or Gandalf or someone tells it, but it's definitely in one of them. ~In response to the picture~ Beautiful. I can't believe how you got that effect on her dress...it's exactly how he describes it. Thank you sooo much.
11 Aug 2004	Jana L. Johnson	Loading... I really am fond of the colors, I like how everything looks pretty dark save for her. It's a cool effect.
