Ahhh...
Such lissom limbs no more shall run/on the green earth beneath the sun/so fair a maid no more shall be/from dawn to dusk from sun to sea/Her robe was blue as summer skies/but gray as evening were her eyes/'twas sewn with golden lilies fair/but dark as shadow was her hair/Her feet were light as bird on wing/her laughter lighter than the spring/the slender willow the bowing reed/the fragrance of a flowering mead/the light upon the leaves of trees/the voice of water more than these/her beauty was and blissfulness/her glory and her loveliness/and her the king more dear did prize/than hand or heart or light of eyes...
So beautiful!
Hey guess what everyone? I put about 5 Enya CDs on hold at the library today! I hope to get them on Tuesday. And I don't want to be dissappointed...
I'm sorry Lego but I just can't agree. If you watched mmore chick-flicks then you would like Beren and Luthien better than Idril and Tuor. Mortal half-mortal weird stuff.
Well, gotta go, ttyl!
Tomorrow!
Namarie
there beryl, pearl, and opal pale/and metal wrought like fishes male/there buckler, corslet, ax and sword/and gleaming spears he lade in hoard....All these he had/and loved them less/then maiden once in Elfinesse/for fairer then are born to men/a daughter he had, Luthien.
ReplyDeleteI have about half the first Canto memorized. THen I gave up. Then I started again, only to discover there were two versions and I'd been mixing them up. :P
yay for Enya! the best CD is Watermark. (In my humble opinion.) Her collection CD is Paint the Sky with Stars, and the newest CD is Amarantine(that one's also pretty good). I own Amarantine, Paint the sky with stars, Watermark, and A day without rain.
awww, but Idril and Tuor are so cute! And out of the three human/elf couples in the history of ME, they never get a lot of attention.
Yes, I'd like to put the Lay of Leithian to music someday...I think it would be sooo gorgeous! I don't think I could ever memorize it, but I'll probably do a little bit.
ReplyDeleteI have all those Enya CDs on hold, hope to get them tomorrow or Thursday (some had holds).
Idril and Tuor really don't get much attention, do they? Only like in the Silmarillion, and not so much there either.
What's your favorite Enya song everbody?
I'm so glad you are all posting on my blog!!!
I'm gonna talk to mom about going to Camp Hope next year. How many of you guys go? Does Vani go?
Namarie melloni.
No. Vani doesn't go. Not that we haven't invented elaborate plots to make her go....:P shhh, don't tell her. :) JK.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Enya songs are Exile, Pax Deorum, Athair ar neamh, China roses, and Tempus Vernum, and Evening Falls. and it took me a while to narrow it down to those two.....:P
