“I was young and I looked on his flame, and now I am old and lost. He was young and his flame leaped towards me, but he turned away, and he is young still. Do candles pity moths?”
J.R.R. Tolkien, Morgoth’s Ring, History of Middle Earth Vol. 10
A discussion between Andreth and Finrod is one of Tolkien’s most poignant texts. Its beginning, which is a clash of two perspectives, human and elven, stays in the reader’s memory. Especially since we ourselves are one of the parties.
However, it is Andreth’s personal story and her feelings for Aegnor that cause tears and pierce one’s heart the most. Although their feelings are mutual, the encounter between immortality and mortality cannot have a happy ending, not without some higher purpose.
Oh, Andreth. May you find your Flame at the end of times, when Arda is remade.
