The Company wake to find faint sunlight illuminating the hall in which they’ve slept. ‘We are high up on the east side of Moria,’ says Gandalf. ‘Before today is over we ought to find the Great Gates and see the waters of Mirrormere lying in the Dimrill Dale before us.’

🎶He named the nameless hills and dells
he drank from yet untasted wells.
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
and saw a crown of stars appear
as gems upon a silver thread
above the shadow of his head🎶
These words have stuck with me a long time and still evoke a shiver when I read or hear them
he drank from yet untasted wells.
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
and saw a crown of stars appear

‘There must have been a mighty crowd of dwarves here,’ says Sam, ‘busier than badgers.’ Gimli answers only with a song.
‘The world was young, the mountains green,
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone
When Durin woke and walked alone…’

Hell of a climb for a guy in my state, but I made it to where they filmed Mirrormere / Dimrill Dale. Talk about “fixing it in post” 🤣

Song of Durin has always been my favorite in all of LotR, especially the lines
He stooped and looked in Mirrormere
And saw a crown of stars appear
As gems upon a silver thread
Above the shadow of his head.
There's something so elegant and beautiful about the way Durin is described.

But here are things the Fellowship does spend time on: caring for each other and sharing important natural/cultural landmarks—Gimli the Mirrormere, Legolas the Nimrodel. They both insist they *have* to take these things in, and both want Frodo to as well. There's something beautiful about that

No pull out map here, but instead four lovely colours maps on the inside cover:
An overhead of the 3 peaks, the Redhorn pass, and the Mirrormere; a cutaway of Moria, aligned with its 3 peaks; then 2 maps looking closer at the areas around the West and East gates.
Pete Fenlon's great as ever

I had always thought the songs in lord of the rings slowed things down but rereading for the first time in a decade I decided to try actually singing them lightly to myself as they pop up and now I am crying at 10AM
