Most favorite one-liners

[Rosa Underhill]

Thingol, your quote is from LotR, I just looked it up. It's in "Farewell to Lorien" in FotR. Yes, that was a beautiful quote and Lorien was a beautiful place. But this one struck me more, somehow:

"But in front a thin wall of water was hung...The level shafts of the setting sun behind beat upon it, and the red light was broken into many flickering beams of ever changing colour. It was as if they stood at the window of some elven-tower, curtained with threaded jewels of silver and gold, and ruby, sapphire and amethyst, all kindled with an unconsuming fire." ~"The Window on the West", TTT
