I love the Aria, both of Galadriel's songs, and Luthien's Duel in particular.
A little bit of Yoda is acceptable in poetry.

I wanna add the Feanorian "Undying Hate" to that list, and Finrod's Duel. They sound so good!

Yes, it's the "honour" passage, which in V1 is the equivalent of the Prison Duet content (in 2 lines). I might do that. And Luthien's V1 not-so-much-bloodzoning to the Feanorians.

Hey, nice job of summarizing the Sillymillion! Concise and clear.

Are you suggesting a move to prose now?
