John Ronald Reuel Tolkien -3 January 1892 – 2 September 1973

Post by Voronwë the Faithful »

I just wanted to take a moment to mark the 35th anniversary of J.R.R. Tolkien's passing into the West.

Thank you, my friend, for all that you have given us.

If we were actually all together we could observe a Standing Silence. . . .
“There, peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for ever beyond its reach.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
