#FridayFantasy . . . . Tinuviel was dancing to music of a pipe unseen.

Purplerays

“The leaves were long, the grass was green,
The hemlock-umbels tall and fair,
And in the glade a light was seen
Of stars in shadow shimmering.
Tinúviel was dancing there
To music of a pipe unseen,
And light of stars was in her hair,
And in her raiment glimmering…”

Excerpt from the poem “Tinúviel,” written in 1917 by J.R.R. Tolkien.
