“Alas! For she was pitted against a foe beyond the strength of her mind or body. And those who will take a weapon to such an enemy must be sterner than steel, if the very shock shall not destroy them. It was an evil doom that set her in his path. For she is a fair maiden, fairest lady of a house of queens. And yet I know not how I should speak of her. When I first looked on her and perceived her unhappiness, it seemed to me that I saw a white flower standing straight and proud, shapely lily, and yet knew that it was hard, as if wrought by elf-wrights out of steel. Or was it, maybe a frost that had turned its sap to ice, and so it stood, in bitter-sweet, still fair to see, but stricken, soon to fall and die?”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings

“So twined is mine
own self with thine, that the love
could not die whilst my heart told me
thou still lived. It is green yet, and
strong, and hath waited only for this
day. When I saw Aedan, and knew
that thou wast nearby, my soul didst
rise up and fly!”
― Sarah Brazytis, In God is My Hope

“Hast thou
seen a saucy wench hereabouts?�

“I hath seen no saucy wench,� said
Colin, using the term with difficulty,
for the white frightened face of his
Lady of the Greenwood haunted him.
“Nor art thou free to trespass on my
master’s land with so hare-brained
an excuse. Get thee gone without delay.”
