Fáfnir
30 ‘O man of mankind!
What man begot thee?
Who forged the flame
for Fáfnir’s heart?’
Sigurd
‘As the wolf I walk
wild and lonely,
no father owning,
a flame bearing.’

full well I know it!…
Oggi, per il nostro appuntamento con la #musicatolkieniana, vi porgo una cover di “Song of the Lonely Mountain” di Peter Hollens.
Testo:
Far over the Misty Mountains rise
Leave us standing upon the height
What was before we see once more
Is our kingdom a distant light
Fiery mountain beneath a moon
The words unspoken, we’ll be there soon
For home a song that echoes on
And all who find us will know the tune
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the back of us yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Until we get our long forgotten gold
We lay under the Misty Mountains cold
In slumbers deep, and dreams of gold
We must awake, our lives to make
And in the darkness a torch we hold
From long ago when lanterns burned
Until this day our hearts have yearned
A fate unknown, the Arkenstone
What was stolen must be returned
We must awake at break of day
To find our song for heart and soul
Some folk we never forget
Some kind we never forgive
Haven’t seen the end of it yet
We’ll fight as long as we live
All eyes on the hidden door
To the Lonely Mountain borne
We’ll ride in the gathering storm
Till we get our long forgotten gold
Far away the Misty Mountains cold

Gimli: Ah! Potevi scegliere un posto migliore! Beh, qualunque sia la tua fortuna, che superi questa notte!
Legolas: I tuoi amici sono con te, Aragorn.
Gimli: Che anche loro superino questa notte!
[Le Due Torri]
-Lúthien Tinúviel…
But harder than stone is the flesh and bone
Of a troll that sits in the hills alone.
As well set your boot to the mountain’s root,
For the seat of a troll don’t feel it.
Peel it! Heal it!
Old Troll laughed, when he heard Tom groan,
And he knew his toes could feel it.…
Il nostro viaggio attraverso i #paesaggitolkieniani continua!
Oggi raggiungiamo Valinor, attraverso “Welcome to Valinor” di Nahar-Doa (su DeviantArt), che immagina così le sponde di Valinor all’arrivo della nave che trasporta Frodo, Bilbo e Gandalf.

Gríma: Oh, egli deve essere morto durante la notte. Che tragedia, per il Re, perdere il suo unico figlio ed erede! Capisco. Non è facile da accettare, la sua scomparsa. Specialmente ora che tuo fratello ti ha abbandonata.
Éowyn: Lasciami sola, serpente!…
Loki
8 ‘What fish have I found
in the flood leaping,
rashly roaming?
Ransom pay me!’
Andvari
‘I am Andvari.
Óin begot me
to grievous fate.
Gold I bid thee!’
Loki

thus hollow bending?’
Andvari
‘The ring is little –
let it rest with me!’…
