In these virus saturated days with so much disappointment around, these lines from Tolkien restore focus:
“Sam saw a star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the forsaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the Shadow was only a small and passing thing; there was light and high beauty forever beyond its reach.” (JRR Tolkien, The Return of the King)
Amen.
