I’m reading “The Silmarillion” to my boys, episodically ... (”You do too like it. It’s full of Vocabulary!”) and a passage recently reminded me of Sarah:

“Then Luthien stood upon the bridge and declared her power: and the spell was loosed that bound stone to stone.” (Page 212 in our paperback.) Luthien defeated Sauron and cast down the fortress he had occupied.

Also, I saw this recently at the liquor store and thought you’d be amused:

“The Silmarillion”

Had totally forgotten I had read this in my youthful Tolkien days. Thank you for the reminder.

Tax Chick, I have never read the Silmarillion, but I suppose I need to know since the Third Hobbit Movie has come out and there won't be any more Tolkien related works for a long, long time.

I do know enough about it thought to understand who that quote is referencing and it is perfectly applicable to Sarah :)

Valar Dohaeris!

As I am sure you know, that word has roots in Tolkien. George R.R. Martin knows where it came from ;)
