And the Joan of Arc letter she posted today was awesome. I started doing some research on St. Joan of Arc and her sword. Some say the sword may have once belonged to Charles Martel.
“Beren now, he never thought he was going to get that Silmaril from the Iron Crown in Thangorodrim, and yet he did, and that was a worse place and a blacker danger than ours. But that’s a long tale, of course, and goes on past the happiness and into grief and beyond it – and the Silmaril went on and came to Earendil.
And why, sir, I never thought of that before! We’ve got – you’ve got some of the light of it in that star-glass that the Lady gave you! Why, to think of it, we’re in the same tale still! It’s going on. Don’t the great tales ever end?”~Sam Gamgee
Sorry, couldn’t resist.
:) Very nice quote! And I would say to Sam, no, the great tales do not ever end, we are still a part of that great story of good vs. evil even today!
