Another journal page done. Left page is taken from HoME Volume IV: The Shaping of Middle Earth. "The valiant stand of Húrin is still remembered by the Elves, for by it was Turgon enabled to cleave his way from the field and save part of his battle, and rescue his people from the hills ... Renowned in song is the axe of Húrin that slew a hundred Orcs, but the magic helm that Gumlin his sire bequeathed him he did not wear that day. Thereon was set in mockery the image of the head of Glómund, and oft it had gone into victory, so that the Men of Hithlum said: We have a dragon of more worth than theirs. ... But it would not have availed Húrin on that field." The right hand page is from The Silmarillion. "Last of all Húrin stood alone. Then he cast aside his shield, and wielded an axe two-handed; and it is sung that the axe smoked in the black blood of the troll-guard of Gothmog until it withered, and each time that he slew Húrin cried: ‘Aurë entuluva! Day shall come again!’ Seventy times he uttered that cry, but they took him at last alive, by the command of Morgoth." #tolkienjournal #tolkienquotes #aurëentuluva #dayshallcomeagain #hurin #dragonhelm #dragonhelmofdorlomin #turgon #battleofunnumberedtears #nirnaetharnoediad (at Simpsonville, South Carolina) https://www.instagram.com/p/CURYlxEsvGX/?utm_medium=tumblr
