Berenice
b. c.A.D. 28, Jewish princess; daughter of Herod Agrippa I. A very beautiful woman, she was often involved in intrigue. After her first husband died, she was married to her uncle Herod of Chalcis. After his death (A.D. 48) she lived in incest with her brother, Herod Agrippa II, causing some scandal. Her third husband was the Cilician king Polemon II, whom she abandoned, returning to Herod Agrippa II. She and her brother sided with Rome in its struggle with Judaea. The emperor Titus apparently planned to marry her, but the Romans’ great dislike of the Jews forced him to withdraw from the match. Titus’ dilemma is the subject of Racine’s play Bérénice. |

Beren and Luthien Tinuviel
Tinuviel is the only daughter of King Thingol of Doriath and Melian the Maia, and said to be the fairest Elf to have ever lived. She was discovered by Beren as he wandered the woods of her father's kingdom, and they grew to love one another. When Lúthien took Beren before her father, he was apalled that his royal daughter should wish to wed a mortal, and so set Beren what he thought was an unachievable task, to recover a Silmaril from the Iron Crown of Morgoth himself. So Beren left Doriath in pursuit of his hopeless quest.
After a time, a darkness fell on Lúthien's heart, and she learned from her mother Melian what this meant; Beren had been captured by Sauron, and was held in the dungeons of Tol-in-Gaurhoth. Though Thingol sought to stop her, Lúthien set out from Doriath to rescue Beren, if she could. Passing through many adventures, she gained the help of Huan the Hound, and together they came to Sauron's Isle. Through Lúthien's magic and Huan's strength they defeated Sauron and rescued Beren. Eventually Beren set out for Angband once again, and Lúthien accompanied him.
Through Lúthien's powers, they passed the gates of Angband, and the great wolf Carcharoth that guarded them. Coming before the Dark Throne itself, she wove a spell that put Morgoth and his court into a deep sleep, and Beren cut a Silmaril from the Iron Crown. Returning to the gates, they found that Carcharoth barred their escape. Beren held up the hallowed Jewel to protect them, but the monstrous wolf bit off his hand, and with it consumed the Silmaril. But the Silmarils were blessed by Varda herself, so that any unclean flesh that touched them would be withered and burnt. The wolf's innards were consumed with that burning, and it ran howling into the south.
Lúthien healed Beren, and they came at last back to her father's halls at Menegroth. There they heard tidings that the maddened wolf had entered Thingol's realm, and Beren set out with the King to the Hunting of the Wolf. After nightfall they returned; the wolf was slain and the Silmaril recovered, but Beren was wounded mortally. So he passed away, and soon after Lúthien too wasted of grief.
Their spirits were gathered in the Halls of Mandos in the Uttermost West of the World, and there Lúthien sang a song of such extraordinary power and beauty that it moved even the implacable heart of Mandos himself. So she was granted a unique fate, to become mortal and return to Middle-earth with Beren, where they dwelt for a time in happiness on the green island of Tol Galen in the River Adurant.

Song
of Beren and Luthien Tinuviel
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.
There Beren came from mountains cold,
And lost he wandered under leaves,
And where the Elven-river rolled
He walked alone and sorrowing.
He peered between the hemlock-leaves
And saw in wonder flowers of gold
Upon her mantle and her sleeves,
And her hair like shadow following.
Enchantment healed his weary feet
That over hills were doomed to roam;
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
She lightly fled on dancing feet,
And left him lonely still to roam
In the silent forest listening.
He heard there oft the flying sound
Of feet as light as linden-leaves,
Or music welling underground,
In hidden hollows quavering.
Now withered lay the hemlock-sheaves,
And one by one with sighing sound
Whispering fell the beachen leaves
In the wintry woodland wavering.
He sought her ever, wandering far
Where leaves of years were thickly strewn,
By light of moon and ray of star
In frosty heavens shivering.
Her mantle glinted in the moon,
As on a hill-top high and far
She danced, and at her feet was strewn
A mist of silver quivering.
Tinuviel - lilac point
born feb 19 2000 |
When winter passed, she came again,
And her song released the sudden spring,
Like rising lark, and falling rain,
And melting water bubbling.
He saw the elven-flowers spring
About her feet, and healed again
He longed by her to dance and sing
Upon the grass untroubling.
Again she fled, but swift he came.
Tinúviel! Tinúviel!
He called her by her elvish name;
And there she halted listening.
One moment stood she, and a spell
His voice laid on her: Beren came,
And doom fell on Tinúviel
That in his arms lay glistening.
As Beren looked into her eyes
Within the shadows of her hair,
The trembling starlight of the skies
He saw there mirrored shimmering.
Tinúviel the elven-fair,
Immortal maiden elven-wise,
About him cast her shadowy hair
And arms like silver glimmering.
Long was the way that fate them bore,
O'er stony mountains cold and grey,
Through halls of iron and darkling door,
And woods of nightshade morrowless.
The Sundering Seas between them lay,
And yet at last they met once more,
And long ago they passed away
In the forest singing sorrowless.

Arthur |
Excalibur of Arthur
The "Excalibur" was King Arthur's sword. It was not the "Sword in the Stone" (which broke in battle), but a second sword which Merlin helped him get.
With this sword, Arthur fought countless nobel battles against evil.
Merlin was worried that Arthur would fall in battle, Merlin took the King to a magical lake where a mysterious hand thrust itself up from the water, holding aloft a magnificent sword.
Since King Arthur was always in battle, (the sword from the stone broken in battle), Merlin led Arthur to a lake, from the middle of which an arm protruded holding a sword. The sword, Excalibur, belonged to the Lady of the Lake, who gave it to Arthur.
It was the Lady of the Lake offering Arthur a magic unbreakable blade, fashioned by an Avalonian elf smith, along with a scabbard which would protect him as long as he wore it.
Towards the end of his reign, during the troubled times of Medrod's rebellion, Excalibur was stolen by Arthur's wicked half-sister Morgan le Fay.
Though it was recovered, the scabbard was lost forever.
Thus when Arthur was mortally wounded at the Battle of Camlann.
The King then instructed Bedwyr (or Girflet) to return Excalibur to the lake from whence it came.
However, when questioned about the circumstances of its return, Bedwyr claimed to have seen nothing unusual.
Arthur therefore knew that Bedwyr had kept Excalibur for himself and sent him back to the Lake once more. Hurling the sword into the misty waters this time, Bedwyr saw the mystic hand appear to catch Excalibur and draw it beneath the rippling waters for the last time.

Tu che sei nata dove c'è sempre il sole
sopra uno scoglio che ci si può tuffare
e quel sole ce l'hai dentro al cuore
sole di primavera
su quello scoglio in maggio è nato un fiore
E ti ricordi c'era il paese in festa
tutti ubriachi di canzoni e di allegria
e pensavo che su quella sabbia
forse sei nata tu
o a casa di mio fratello non ricordo più
E ci hai visto su dal cielo
ci hai trovato e piano sei venuta giù
un passaggio da un gabbiano
ti ha posata su uno scoglio ed eri tu
Ma che bel sogno
era maggio e c'era caldo
noi sulla spiaggia vuota ad aspettare
e tu che mi dicevi guarda su
quel gabbiano
stammi vicino e tienimi la mano
E ci hai visto su dal cielo
ci hai trovato e piano sei venuta giù
un passaggio da un gabbiano
ti ha posata su uno scoglio ed eri tu

Gandalf - blue point figlio di Edjem
nata il 25 Febbraio 2003 |
Gandalf il Blu
In origin a Maia of Manwë and Varda,
Gandalf came to the northwest of Middle-earth after a thousand years of
the Third Age had passed, with four others of his order. At the Grey
Havens, Círdan entrusted him with the Red Ring, Narya, to aid him in
contesting the will of Sauron.
Gandalf wandered widely in Middle-earth, and learned much of its races and
peoples. Unlike his fellow Wizards Saruman and Radagast, he never settled
in a single place. He was instrumental in the victory of the War of the
Ring, but during that conflict he battled with a Balrog, and though he was
ultimately victorious, his spirit left his body, but was sent back to
Middle-earth to complete his task.
Gandalf finally left Middle-earth in 3021 (Third Age), when he departed
over the sea with the Ring-bearers. |

The wife of Dírhael of the Dúnedain, and mother to Gilraen. When Arathorn
son of Arador sought Gilraen's hand in marriage, Dírhael opposed him.
Ivorwen, though, who was said to have the gift of foresight, persuaded her
husband to allow the marriage. This was a small part to play in the history
of Middle-earth, but it had great consequences - the son of Arathorn and
Gilraen was Aragorn, who would one day reunite the ancient Kingdoms of the
Dúnedain.

Ithildin

A magical substance made by the Elves from mithril, that could only be seen

until a magical word was said. Gandalf translated its name as 'starmoon',
but 'moon-sparkle' would be a more literal rendering. The designs on the
West-gate of Moria were made from this substance.
