I really love the fox too! I love how it survived from the first draft.
I love Felagund's reason to Galadriel for why he will not take a wife in the Silm. i can't remember the quote, but it's about how he shall swear an oath that he cannot break and he must be free to go into darkness.
I think the lines:
"And Morgoth came."
and
"Fingolfin named Morgoth craven, and Lord of slaves"
and
"and Fingolfin drew his sword, Ringil that glittered like ice."
are fantastic.
One more from The Silm. that i love is
"Their bed was the soft heather and their roof the cloudy sky"
something like that- i can't remember it exactly. The description of Luthine @blue was her raiment...." is also good.
Finally, i love Tolkien's names for everything. My favourites at the moment are:
Felagund, Tevildo Prince of Cats, Fingolfin, Thingol, Damrod and Diriel, Taur nu Fuin, Dor nu Fauglith, Angband, Ulmo, Glorfindel, At the Sign of The Prancing Pony, The King of the Golden Hall, The Steward and the King and The Ride of the Rohirrim.
