Raynor has just left Hobbiton.
Quote:
Melian, a Maia, mothered the greatest of all the Eldar
But the only thing in which she apparently surpassed Fearnor was beauty; in all the other gifts of the elven race, Feanor excels ("mightiest in skill of word and of hand, more learned than his brothers; his spirit burned as a flame"; "he became of all the Noldor, then or after, the most subtle in mind and the most skilled in hand").
Quote:
Others can only see LotR as a microscope over the latter part of the Third Age of Tolkien's Middle-earth, a product only of what came before it and not of any conscious desire of the author to create moral lessons.
So, Tolkien's opinions on religious and moral truths that appear in his work have no weight for you?
