Children of Húrin is an epic fantasy novel by J. R. R. Tolkien. The book contains beautiful illustrations by Alan Lee. The story is one of three "great tales" set in the First Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth.
One of my dearest books.

unconcerned about arriving anywhere at all.
Each step was slow ,balanced & peaceful.
Walking with quiet Dignity,
Observing each Breath & Step.

The Meeting of Dido & Aeneas,
by Nathaniel Dance-Holland
Justice would be a simple matter, if men were
simple but Men are not content with a simple life:
they are acquisitive, competitive,& jealous;
The result is the encroachment of one group upon the territory of another,the rivalry of groups for the resources of the soil,& then War.
“Then democracy comes: the poor overcome their opponents, slaughtering some & banishing
the rest ;& give to the people an equal share of freedom &
power”.
But even democracy ruins itself by excess ,of Democracy.
"Life is a storm,my friend.
You will bask in the sunlight 1 moment,
be shattered on the rocks the next.
What makes you a man is what
you do when that storm comes.
You must look into that storm &
shout: Do your worst, for I will do mine!"
