Beren and Luthien

[Lalaith]

Yeah, but I thought that in the explanation of Christopher Tolkien stood that the original form of Sauron was this cat. He is still there in the later form of Beren and Luthien - but not as a cat.

Tivaldo? Something like that? .... *runs off to check* Tevildo - prince of cats.

Ai! That is it!! Tevildo, Prince of Cats!

Mirahzi: yes, thank you, I meant Huan.

Lalaith: it has been a long time since I have read BoLT1&2, so I will have to concede to your knowlege on this.

It's not long ago when I read this, but I tend to forget things too fast.

I tend to recall the strangest and most useless of things, and I can not recall the name of most of my neighbors. I just yell to the "Hey, neighbor! How's life treating you?" Isn't that sad?

Really, really sad. But I don't remember faces and names at all. My friends stopped introducing me to new people at the nighclub, because I don't remember them the next time.

The Hunting of The Wolf (A ballad.)

The red maw goes to Menegroth
prepared to fight 'til end
those that sung of wolfen wroth;
his fangs wanting to rend

King's hands, bow, and loyal hound
rose to fight that day
a hunt to claim the dark one's crown
Carcharoth to slay

The northern of Esgalduin
The dreaded wolf did lay
The hunters now approached herein
Lured by feral bay

Huan, friend of Lúthien
Left Erchamion
To go seek the wolf out then
But Carcharoth was gone!

Out of a thicket filled with thorns
The Red Maw had sprung
Filled with Melkor's hate and scorns
Upon Thingol he flung

Beren strode to fight the beast
but was smote by prey
Huan lept to stop wolf's feast
and they were led away

Huan, hound of Oromë
Fought the lupine curse
And Carcharoth, to his dismay
sunk into the earth

But in this moment, felled he was,
Erchamion near-dead.
And Huan, victor, raked by claws
Went to Mandos then.

“Farewell,� he said, ere his parting
“We shall meet again.
In Valinor, they will be calling;
Live again, Beren!�

Beleg, Mablung, Doriath
Wept for him that day
Victims of Carcharoth's wrath
A small part in the play.

They slit the belly of the beast
Drawing the jewel wherein
Tinúviel's dowry was the least
To pay the wolf's own sin.

Mablung placed the light of trees
In Beren's living hand
“Now the Quest is achieved.�
But his life would not withstand.

At the feet of HÃ*rilorn
Lúthien awaited
Her lover dead, she did not mourn
Not knowing what was fated

Thus ends the Quest of Silmaril
Cut from Melkor's crown
Release from Bondage yet to end
Until Beleriand sinks down
