anghraine: an armoured woman with a sword against a gold background (éowyn (pelennor))
You all are probably tired of hearing about the Aeneid, but I just have to share this bit of an incredibly cool speech that Juno gets:

“But if my powers
Are not great enough, why should I hesitate
To seek help from any source whatever?
If I cannot sway Heaven, I will awaken Hell!”

anghraine: choppy water on a misty day (sea)
Back to my Aeneid notes, and I really love this description of the morning star:

Like the Morning Star, loved by Venus
As no other star, when it rises from Ocean,
A sacred light in the sky melting the dark.

Eärendil!!!
