#Tolkientober day 9: fall

“Before the rising of the sun Eärendil slew Ancalagon the Black, the mightiest of the dragon-host, and cast him from the sky; and he fell upon the towers of Thangorodrim, and they were broken in his ruin.”

A small watercolor painting of a black dragon fallen backwards onto the peaks of mountains erupting like volcanos, wings outspread and fire spewing from his open mouth towards a tiny ship shining with white light above him

From grace, hope ends in fire.

Nine once proud kings and warriors
Had their souls taken.

"'One is for you,' Celebrimbor said. But she knew already."
Perhaps I ship Galadriel/Nenya.

#Tolkientober day 8: rings

“…the jewels green that burned
in Beren's ring. These Noldor had set as eyes of serpents twined that met beneath a golden crown of flowers, that one upholds and one devours.”

A small watercolor painting of the ring of Barahir: two silver snakes with emerald eyes entwined beneath a crown of golden flowers. One has its mouth open to eat the flowers. The background is a gradient wash of indigo blue, pale around the ring and darkening into the corners of the paper

A belated #Tolkientober Day 7: Osanwë
"The first time, she thought she must have been mistaken. Imagining things. She was half delirious, collapsed onto the bottom of the raft, when she felt a presence lingering just outside the bounds of her mind."

#Tolkientober - Day 9: Fall

"and [Tuor] cast him far out, and his body as it fell smote the rocky slopes of Amon Gwareth thrice ere it pitched into the flames below."Tolkien, Silmarillion

#Maeglin #FallOfGondolin #Silmarillion

Maeglin is falling his hair and wind swept upwards. His right arm is outstretched upwards. His facial expression is full of fear and terror. Below the flames engulf him

Jour 8: ANNEAUX

Dans cette version des énigmes de Bilbo et Gollum, l'ANNEAU est représenté par deux arpèges suspendues qu'on entend au tout début et à la fin: j'y trouve à la fois fascination et corruption (la base descend d'un demi-ton).

Ósanwë: The door is shut. She has slammed it, latched the lock, dropped the key into the depths. But, now and again, drifting in the outer corners of her awareness, the light slipping through the cracks distorts, shadow moving on the other side. She reaches out a hand, draws it back.
