Description The full title is "Elwë Finds Melian in the Starlit Woods of Nan Elmoth." But DA has a character limit for image titles, and won't let me post special punctuation symbols. Anyhoo...

"She spoke no word; but being filled with love Elwë came to her and took her hand, and straightaway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word.

Thus Elwë’s folk who sought him found him not, and Olwë took the kingship of the Teleri and departed, as is told hereafter. Elwë Singollo never came again across the sea to Valinor so long as he lived, and Melian returned not thither while their realm together lasted…. And of the love of Thingol and Melian there came into the world the fairest of all the Children of Ilúvatar that was or shall ever be.”--Tolkien, an excerpt from the Silmarillion.
