SciFi and Fantasy Art The first meeting of Arwen and Aragorn by Anke Katrin Eissmann

The next day at the hour of sunset Aragorn walked alone in the woods, and his heart was high within him; and he sang, for he was full of hope and the world was fair. And suddenly even as he sang he saw a maiden walking on a greensward among the white stems of the birches; and he halted amazed, thinking that he had strayed into a dream, or else that he had received the gift of the Elf-minstrels, who can make the things of which they sing appear before the eyes of those that listen.
For Aragorn had been singing a part of the Lay of Lúthien which tells of the meeting of Lúthien and Beren in the forest of Neldoreth. And behold! there Lúthien walked before his eyes in Rivendell, clad in a mantle of silver and blue, fair as the twilight in Elven-home; her dark hair strayed in a sudden wind, and her brows were bound with gems like stars.

J.R.R. Tolkien: The Lord of the Rings, Book 6, Appendix A: Of Aragorn and Arwen

7 Jul 2005	Daniel	Loading... As someone who's lived in Arizona most of my life, I sometimes have trouble rousing my imagination to the task of picturing the dark, misty forests of Middle Earth. Thank you for providing a scene that I've never been able to picture so vividly; to my mind it _perfectly_ captures the haunting beauty of Tolkein's world; I can almost hear the wind in the grass.
