Mandos has some serious black humor:
Quote:
"and if I must break them, I shall break my heart, and I shall be slain; first of all the Eldar in Aman." [-Fėanor]
"Not the first," said Mandos, but they did not understand his word.

And who couldn't smile at that?
Quote:
Then Manwė and Yavanna parted for that time, and Yavanna returned to Aulė; and he was in his smithy, pouring molten metal into a mould. 'Eru is bountiful,' she said. 'Now let thy children beware! For there shall walk a power in the forests whose wrath they will arouse at their peril.'
'Nonetheless they will have need of wood,' said Aulė, and he went on with his smith-work.
