    The tale of Beren and Lúthien
    Written by J.R.R. Tolkien
    The Lord of the Rings (1954 )
    - | LYRICS |-
    The leaves were long, the grass was green,
    The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
    And in the glade a light was seen
    Of stars in shadow shimmering.
    Tinúviel was dancing there
    To music of a pipe unseen,
    And light of stars was in her hair,
    And in her raiment glimmering.
    There Beren came from mountains cold,
    And lost he wandered under leaves,
    And where the Elven-river rolled
    He walked alone and sorrowing.
    He peered between the hemlock-leaves
    And saw in wonder flowers of gold
    Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
    And her hair like shadow following.
    Enchantment healed his weary feet
    That over hills were doomed to roam;
    And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
    And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
    Through woven woods in Elvenhome
    She lightly fled on dancing feet,
    And left him lonely still to roam
    In the silent forest listening.
    He heard there oft the flying sound
    Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
    Or music welling underground,
    In hidden hollows quavering.
    Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
    And one by one with sighing sound
    Whispering fell the beachen leaves
    In the wintry woodland wavering.
    He sought her ever, wandering far
    Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
    By light of moon and ray of star
    In frosty heavens shivering.
    Her mantle glinted in the moon,
    As on a hill-top high and far
    She danced, and at her feet was strewn
    A mist of silver quivering.
    When winter passed, she came again,
    And her song released the sudden spring,
    Like rising lark, and falling rain,
    And melting water bubbling.
    He saw the elven-flowers spring
    About her feet, and healed again
    He longed by her to dance and sing
    Upon the grass untroubling.
    Again she fled, but swift he came.
    Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
    He called her by her elvish name;
    And there she halted listening.
    One moment stood she, and a spell
    His voice laid on her: Beren came,
    And doom fell on Tinúviel
    That in his arms lay glistening.
    As Beren looked into her eyes
    Within the shadows of her hair,
    The trembling starlight of the skies
    He saw there mirrored shimmering.
    Tinúviel the elven-fair,
    Immortal maiden elven-wise,
    About him cast her shadowy hair
    And arms like silver glimmering.
    Long was the way that fate them bore,
    O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
    Through halls of ireon and darkling door,
    And woods of nightshade morrowless.
    The Sundering Seas between them lay,
    And yet at last they met once more,
    And long ago they passed away
    In the forest singing sorrowless.

    This was inspired by the time Tolkien’s wife Edith danced for him among a grove of hemlocks while taking a walk through the woods in the Hull area. He was back in England recovering from the trench fever he’d contracted on the western front of WWI. Thereafter he came to think of Edith as “his Luthien.”

    “The song of Lúthien before Mandos was the song most fair that ever in words was woven, and the song most sorrowful that ever the world shall hear. Unchanged, imperishable, it is sung still in Valinor beyond the hearing of the world, and listening the Valar are grieved. For Lúthien wove two themes of words, of the sorrow of the Eldar and the grief of Men, of the Two Kindreds that were made by Ilúvatar to dwell in Arda, the Kingdom of Earth amid the innumerable stars. And as she knelt before him her tears fell upon his feet like rain upon stones; and Mandos was moved to pity, who never before was so moved, nor has been since.”

So, with Clamavis version being sadder and slower, it would be more appropriate as the elven version. Imagine the pain the immortal elves and her father must've felt when they learned they are never to see her again.

I even said quite rightly many authors I like took inspiration and I have no qualm in saying he is one of the founding fathers if not the most important of the fantasy genre.

    • @salmarwow
      @salmarwow 4 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      @@jam8539 No offense, but I think this point of view has led many authors to an opposite extreme. I.e., they started to pay too much attention to details. This resulted in stories which are in fact not so interesting for reader, but are supposed to show that author can handle big complex world. Take Jordan's Wheel of Time or GRRM's 'A song of Ice and Fire". While I adore both, these series are so huge that their authors deserve to be punished (well, Jordan is dead, but anyway). I took GRRM as an example here mainly for the same reason that you've mentioned, since GRRM himself talked a lot about Tolkien's black-white approach, his own attention to details, etc.
      By the way, it's not a big surprise that so intelligent man as Tolkien was keen to write in terms of black and white. He was one of those who has experienced World War as a soldier. I bet this had a significant impact on his style and how he perceived things.

    “It is told in the Lay of Leithian that Beren came stumbling into Doriath grey and bowed as with many years of woe, so great had been the torment of the road. But wandering in the summer in the woods of Neldoreth he came upon Lúthien, daughter of Thingol and Melian, at a time of evening under moonrise, as she danced upon the unfading grass in the glades beside Esgalduin. Then all memory of his pain departed from him, and he fell into an enchantment; for Lúthien was the most beautiful of all the Children of Ilúvatar. ” - an excerpt from The Silmarillion

    The leaves were long, the grass was green,
    The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
    And in the glade a light was seen
    Of stars in shadow shimmering.
    Tinúviel was dancing there
    To music of a pipe unseen,
    And light of stars was in her hair,
    And in her raiment glimmering.
    There Beren came from mountains cold,
    And lost he wandered under leaves,
    And where the Elven-river rolled
    He walked alone and sorrowing.
    He peered between the hemlock-leaves
    And saw in wonder flowers of gold
    Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
    And her hair like shadow following.
    Enchantment healed his weary feet
    That over hills were doomed to roam;
    And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
    And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
    Through woven woods in Elvenhome
    She lightly fled on dancing feet,
    And left him lonely still to roam
    In the silent forest listening.
    He heard there oft the flying sound
    Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
    Or music welling underground,
    In hidden hollows quavering.
    Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
    And one by one with sighing sound
    Whispering fell the beachen leaves
    In the wintry woodland wavering.
    He sought her ever, wandering far
    Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
    By light of moon and ray of star
    In frosty heavens shivering.
    Her mantle glinted in the moon,
    As on a hill-top high and far
    She danced, and at her feet was strewn
    A mist of silver quivering.
    When winter passed, she came again,
    And her song released the sudden spring,
    Like rising lark, and falling rain,
    And melting water bubbling.
    He saw the elven-flowers spring
    About her feet, and healed again
    He longed by her to dance and sing
    Upon the grass untroubling.
    Again she fled, but swift he came.
    Tinúviel! Tinúviel!

    One moment stood she, and a spell
    His voice laid on her: Beren came,
    And doom fell on Tinúviel
    That in his arms lay glistening.
    As Beren looked into her eyes
    Within the shadows of her hair,

    He saw there mirrored shimmering.
    Tinúviel the elven-fair,
    Immortal maiden elven-wise,
    About him cast her shadowy hair
    And arms like silver glimmering.
    Long was the way that fate them bore,
    O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
    Through halls of iron and darkling door,
    And woods of nightshade morrowless.
    The Sundering Seas between them lay,
    And yet at last they met once more,
    And long ago they passed away
    In the forest singing sorrowless.

    Her song released the sudden Spring
    Like rising lark and falling rain
    And melting water bubbling
    He saw the elven-flowers spring
    About her feet, and, healed again
    He longed by her to dance and sing
    Upon the grass, un-troubling
    Again she fled, but swift he came
    "Tinúviel, Tinúviel!"
    He called her by her Elvish name
    And there she halted, listening
    One moment stood she under spell
    His voice laid on her, Beren came
    And doom fell on Tinúviel
    That in his arms lay glistening
    As Beren looked into her eyes
    Within the shadows of her hair
    The trembling starlight of the skies
    He saw there mirrored, shimmering
    Tinúviel the elven-fair
    And mortal maiden elven-wise
    About him cast her shadow’y hair
    And arms like sliver, glimmering
    Long was the way that fate them bore
    O'er stormy mountains, cold and grey
    Through halls barren, and darkling-door
    And woods of night shades, morrow-less
    The Sund'ring Seas between them lay
    And yet, again, the met once more
    And long ago they passed away
    In the forest singing, sorrow-less

    I memorized this as a poem in high school to perform in my drama class, and I've kept up the memorization for years so I have it whenever the occasion arises to recite an epic poem (which happens more than you might think). It's really strange, actually, to hear it sung like this, but rather lovely. It's a beautiful piece of Tolkien poetry :)
