Description
"Éalá Éarendel, engla beorhtast, ofer middangeard monnum sended"
"Hail Éarendel, brightest of angels, above the middle-earth sent unto men."

We owe so much to Anglo-Saxon poet Cynewulf. In 1913, Tolkien read this line from his poem, fell in love with the name Éarendel, got the idea of Middle-Earth, and the rest is history.

So it all began with Eärendil.... also known as Gil-Estel the Star of High Hope, Ardamírë the Jewel of the World, the Splendour of the Children of the Earth, the Bright Star of Morning and Eventide, the Herald of the Morning.

I wanted to include Vingilot in the painting, but I got really tired.
