I love this paragraph written about Bregalad "The hobbits fell asleep to the sound of the soft singing of Bregalad, that seemed to lament in many tongues the fall of trees that he had loved"

"This meeting could have been an email." Hilarious.

That was a great and refreshing video! Thank you for all you do! Please, please, don't stop until you finish all the books!

I love their chant lol and you did it really well. Something really primal about it, you know exactly what it means without even knowing what the ‘words’ are

[@aureentuluva514]

Thanks! I had a sleeping toddler a room away so I couldn't quite belt it out the way I was hoping

"Dangerous" seems to be an active and prevalent concept in Tolkien's work. As Gandalf later points out, to Gimli, he keeps meeting dangerous folk because he himself is dangerous, in a way. That seems to be at the root of every confrontation that takes place. In fact, it seems to me that in each confrontation, Tolkien has the two evenly matched, in a way. The Balrog and Galdalf. Eomer and that Orc whose name escapes me. Even Eowyn and the Witch king of Angmar. The Nazgul Lord stood quietly in doubt when confronted by a woman. Though I must admit, Eowyn and Merry were no match for the Witch king, yet they did him in anyway. And Sauron's forces way overmatched Aragorn's forces at the Black Gate. Yet they lost anyway. Well, it's food for thought.

Frodo later tells Sam that Morgoth can't create and can only mock, like with trolls and orcs. I have always wondered how Frodo knew that.

[@aureentuluva514]

My guess is he heard it in Rivendell or from Gandalf. Or maybe from Biblo?

[@mordechai-]

@@aureentuluva514 My guess too. Otherwise, where else? It's just funny that Frodo heard it, and Sam, who always hangs around Frodo (though not in Rivendell as much) didn't hear it.

Just so you know, when a predator is stalking its prey in the wild, all of nature silences. The birds stop singing, and so on. All of nature becomes tense. Or so I have read.
