JRRTolkien Poetry

"J. R. R. Tolkien was not only the author of the best-selling novel ever written, but a fierce Catholic whose Faith was pervasive in his work. "

 Besides the Sun there may be moonlight but if the Sun were removed there would be no Moon to see. ..... – Letter 250,
The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien

 Not a poet in the traditional sense, Tolkien published nearly 40 poems throughout his life. In 2016, two lost poems by the Anglo-Saxon scholar were discovered originally published in an obscure 1936 annual magazine for Our Lady’s Abingdon in Oxfordshire.
 Of the two, one is a Christmas poem entitled Noel dedicated to the Virgin Mary:

 “Noel is a beautiful and unusual take on the Christmas story, set in a wintry landscape. The focus is on Mary, which may be why Tolkien wrote the poem for the school magazine, given that we are dedicated to Our Lady.”
 Read the beautiful Christmas prayer to Virgin Mary, Noel, by J. R. R. Tolkien below:


 Grim was the world and grey last night: The moon and stars were fled,
 The hall was dark without song or light, The fires were fallen dead.
 The wind in the trees was like to the sea, And over the mountains’ teeth It whistled bitter-cold and free, As a sword leapt from its sheath.
 The lord of snows upreared his head; His mantle long and pale Upon the bitter blast was spread And hung o’er hill and dale. The world was blind, the boughs were bent, All ways and paths were wild: Then the veil of cloud apart was rent, And here was born a Child.
 The ancient dome of heaven sheer Was pricked with distant light; A star came shining white and clear Alone above the night. In the dale of dark in that hour of birth One voice on a sudden sang:
 Then all the bells in Heaven and Earth Together at midnight rang.
 Mary sang in this world below: They heard her song arise O’er mist and over mountain snow To the walls of Paradise, And the tongue of many bells was stirred in Heaven’s towers to ring
When the voice of mortal maid was heard,
That was mother of Heaven’s King. Glad is the world and fair this night With stars about its head, And the hall is filled with laughter and light, And fires are burning red.
The bells of Paradise now ring With bells of Christendom, And Gloria, Gloria we will sing That God on earth is come.

Mare and colt: the beauty of horses...

Mare and colt: "This is a newborn offspring of Taskin, a Gypsy Stallion owned by Villa Vanners of Oregon ...

 

These pictures were taken immediately after his birth on April 6. The mare laid down, and then he trotted around and crawled right up into her lap."

 I just received this email, don’t really know how old the pics are.

If you want to build a ship don't herd people together to collect wood and don't assign  them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the  endless immensity of the sea. Antoine-Marie-Roger de Saint-Exupery    

￭ Now that my house has been burned down, I have an unobstructed view of the rising moon. Traditional Buddhist wisdom.  

Do not wait for leaders; do it alone, person to person. Mother Teresa   ￭  ► What one fully understands cannot be God. Augustine of Hippo   

   The question is not, "Can they reason?" nor, "Can they talk?" but rather, "Can they suffer?"  ~Jeremy Bentham  Think occasionally of the suffering of which you spare yourself the sight.  ~Albert Schweitzer     

   I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.  ~Abraham Lincoln          

               When I was twelve, I went hunting with my father and we shot a bird.  He was laying there and something struck me.  Why do we call this fun to kill this creature [who] was as happy as I was when I woke up this morning.  ~Marv Levy    

   If a group of beings from another planet were to land on Earth - beings who considered themselves as superior to you as you feel yourself to be to other animals - would you concede them the rights over you that you assume over other animals?  Attributed to George Bernard Shaw                When a man wants to murder a tiger he calls it sport; when the tiger wants to murder him he calls it ferocity.  ~George Bernard Shaw  
      Bless your persecutors; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Have the same attitude toward all. Put away ambitious thoughts and associate with those who are lowly. Do not be wise in your own estimation. Never repay injury with injury. See that your conduct is honorable in the eyes of all. If possible, live peacefully with everyone. Beloved, do not avenge yourselves; leave that to God's wrath, for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," says the Lord. But "If your enemies are hungry, feed them; if they are thirsty, give them something to drink…”  Do not be conquered by evil but conquer evil with good.   Paul                    
 For it isn't enough to talk about peace. One must believe in it. And it isn't enough to believe in it. One must work at it.  Eleanor Roosevelt     
  Until lions have their historians, tales of the hunt shall always glorify the hunters.  African Proverb   

 Let us plant dates even though those who plant them will never eat them. We must live by the love of what we will never see. This is the secret discipline. It is a refusal to let the creative act be dissolved away in immediate sense experience, and a stubborn commitment to the future of our grandchildren. Such disciplined love is what has given prophets, revolutionaries, and saints the courage to die for the future they envisaged. They make their own bodies the seed of their highest hope.     Ruben Alves, Tomorrow’s Child

If you see good in people, you radiate a harmonious loving energy which uplifts those who are around you. If you can maintain this habit, this energy will turn into a steady flow of love. Annamalai Swami

Take nothing but photos, leave nothing but footprints, break nothing but silence, kill nothing but time." the Explorer’s Code "At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas which it is assumed all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to state this or that or the other, but it is 'not done'... Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness."—George Orwell
Eternity is not something that begins after you are dead. It is going on all the time. You’re living in it now. Charlotte Perkins Gilman
