This is indeed a lovely quote, Tuor!

"Yet fairest of all are the willows of Nan-Tathren, pale green, or silver in the wind, and the rustle of their innumerable leaves is a spell of music"

Voronwë describing his journey from Gondolin to the Sea.

Tuor in Gondolin 02-06-2009 04:39 PM

Yep. I thought you'd get it with
Nan-Tathren becoming
evident.

Talk about the Valar being tough on a
guy, they could have eased up a bit
on Voronwe. :)

Guinevere 02-09-2009 02:05 PM

Sorry for the delay! :(

I think Voronwë's account is very touching! It is one of the rare occasions where an elf reveals some of his private thoughts and feelings.
