Beren Son of Barahir

“Thereafter for four years more Beren wandered still upon Dorthonion, a solitary outlaw; but he became the friend of birds and beasts, and they aided him, and did not betray him, and from that time forth he ate no flesh nor slew any living thing that was not in the service of Morgoth.”

– The Silmarillion, Of Beren and Lúthien

Beren/Lúthien!!!

We were victims of the night,
The chemical, physical, kryptonite,
Helpless to the bass and the fading light
Oh, we were bound to get together,
Bound to get together.

She took my arm,
I don’t know how it happened.
We took the floor and she said:

“Oh don’t you dare look back,
Just keep your eyes on me.”
I said, “You’re holding back,”
She said, “Shut up and dance with me.”
This woman is my destiny…..

-Walk the Moon, “Shut Up and Dance”

‘They buried the body of Felagund upon the hill-top of his own isle, and it was clean again; and the green grave of Finrod Finarfin’s son, fairest of all the princes of the Elves, remained inviolate, until the land was changed and broken, and foundered under destroying seas. But Finrod walks with Finarfin his father beneath the trees in Eldamar.’ – Of Beren and Lúthien, The Silmarillion.
