A list of Thingol & melian quotes by J.R.R. Tolkien.
“And of the love of Thingol and Melian there came into the world the fairest of all the Children of Ilùvatar that was or shall ever be.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Thingol and Melian.
“In after days, he became a king renowned, and his people were all the Eldar of Beleriand; the Sindar they were named, the Grey-elves, the Elves of Twilight, and King Greymantle was he, Elu Thingol in the tongue of that land.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Thingol and Melian.
“If thou fearest neither spell, wall nor weapons, as thou saist, then go fetch me a Silmaril from the crown of Morgoth. Then we will give jewel for jewel, but thou shalt win the fairer: Lúthien of the First-born and of the Gods. “
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Beren and Lúthien.
But Beren laughed. ‘For little price,’ he said, ‘do Elven-kings sell their daughters: for gems, and things made by craft. But if this be your will, Thingol, I will perform it. And when we meet again my hand shall hold a Silmaril from the Iron Crown; for you have not looked the last upon Beren son of Barahir.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion
And it seemed to Thingol that this Man was unlike all other mortal Men, and among the great in Arda, and the love of Lúthien a thing new and strange; and he perceived that their doom might not be withstood by any power of the world. Therefore at the last he yielded his will, and Beren took the hand of Lúthien before the throne of her father.
By J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion (Of Beren and Lúthien)
“(she) dwelt in the gardens of Lórien, and among all his people there were none more beautiful than Melian, nor wiser, nor more skilled in songs of enchantment.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Valaquenta: Of the Maiar
“and there she filled the silence of Middle-earth before the dawn with her voice and the voices of her birds.”
― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Thingol and Melian.
