Quote by J.R.R. Tolkien

“The silver corslet shimmered before his eyes like the light upon a rippling sea. Carefully he took it off and held it up, and the gems on it glittered like stars, and the sound of the shaken rings was like the tinkle of rain in a pool.”

“The light was bright, too bright for others to see. Yet, in the bright light, I found myself seeing angels and demons; each trying to manipulate the other to do as they wished of them. In the bright light, I saw war being waged, two opposing sides tearing one-another apart with their bare hands. A yin-and-yang affect, the push and pull too great to ignore. As others turned away, blinded by the intolerable ignorance only those who perceived themselves as mortals could possess, I lunged forward; thrusting myself between each being's claws, attempting to protect not only angels but demons alike.”
