Quote from the Hobbit. "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world"

Not quite the golden leaves of Lothlórien, but Kelvingrove park is doing a pretty good simulation of Mallorn trees right now! #autumncolors #Glasgow #Tolkien #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday

''I have found that it is the small everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keep the darkness at bay. Small acts of kindness and love.''

There are no truer words than those spoken. Tolkien would absolutely have backed Toonie Tuesday. Get ready, boys. Tomorrow is our day.

For #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday: this hits both the "poetry" and "creatures" themes: J.R.R. #Tolkien's brilliant poem "Cat", first published in The Adventures of Tom Bombadil and Other Verses from the Red Book.
That last line!

@Tolkienguide @TolkienGateway

The Edwardian fairy was associated with nature and often possessed insect wings. Cicely Mary Barker’s flower fairies came a little later, but developed a long tradition of fairies living in flowers, including Shakespeare’s fairies.

@Tolkienguide @TolkienGateway

Despite later rejecting flower-fairies #Tolkien did invent flower fairy names in Qenya:
🌷 Ailinóne (ĭ): a fairy who dwelt in a lily on a pool
🌼 Nardi: a flower fairy.
🌹 Tetille: a fairy who lived in a poppy

For #TolkienTrewsday #TolkienTuesday First Age theme, here’s an extract from the Ainulindalë:
“And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.”
