“I hope none of my children will feel that the use of this name is a sentimental fancy… I never called Edith Lúthien— but she was the source of the story that in time became the chief part of the Silmarillion.

And suddenly even as he sang he saw a maiden walking on a greensward among the white stems of the birches; and he halted amazed, thinking that he had strayed into a dream, or else that he had received the gift of the Elf-minstrels, who can make the things of which they sing appear before the eyes of those that listen.
