“In later days, he was friend of all the Children of Ilúvatar, and took pity on their sorrows; and those who listened to him awoke from despair and put away imaginations of darkness.”
#Olórin #Silmarillion
#Tolkien on the Wizards:
“They are said to have first appeared about the year 1000 of the Third Age, when the shadow of Sauron began first to grow again to new shape. They always appeared old, but grew older with their labours, slowly, and disappeared with the end of the Rings.”
A #LOTRROP flashback with Morgoth with the silmarils would be 💯
In 1915 #Tolkien decided that the language he was creating, Quenya, was spoken by fairies or elves whom Earendel (a character from a poem he wrote) saw during his strange voyage.
This would be the raw material that Middle-earth would be born out of!
#Tolkien on the young men in WW2 using airplanes to fight:
“My sentiments are more or less those that Frodo would have had if he discovered some Hobbits learning to ride Nazgûl-birds, ‘for the liberation of the Shire’.”
👀 Fresh profile picture.
His signature represents the passion for all things #Tolkien paired with the door to symbolize the portal we walk through into Middle-earth, entering into a world of wonder and beauty!
Love what Ulmo says to Turgon about Gondolin:
“But love not too well the work of thy hands and the devices of thy heart; and remember that the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West and cometh from the Sea.”
Fun Fact: The downfall of Númenor actually started out as an attempt by #Tolkien to write a time-travel story (spurred on by C.S. Lewis, who would go on to write a space-travel story).
The Professor got a few chapters in before the story “ran dry”.
