Tuor: One lucky shmoe... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Gwaihir, the phrase "vein of hope" is exactly the right phrase for the story of Tuor, but it is also found in some of the ohter stories; the climax of this "vein of hope" being the coming of Earendil to Taniquetil to prayer for the salvation of elves and men. Some other "veins of hope:" Beren and Luthien claiming a Silmaril (leading Maehedros to believe that Morgoth was not unassailable); the escape of the Gondolodrim from the Nirnaeth (spoiling Morgoth's victory, setting the stage for Huor's vision -- the birth of star, Earendil); the escapes of Elwing with the Silmaril.

The only story that I can not any hope in is the Narn. But that is for another post. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
