"You are born from starlight, from tears of hope and tears of despair and tears of wisdom, and to you it falls to understand, to love and to grow."

Such wonderful and true words....

O Stars that in the Sunless Year
With shining hand by her were sown,
In windy fields now bright and clear
We see you silver blossom blown!

O Elbereth! Gilthoniel!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees,
Thy starlight on the Western Seas.

O Elbereth Star-kindler,
from heaven gazing afar,
to thee I cry now beneath the shadow of death!
O look towards me, Everwhite !^{^{http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Elbereth_Gilthoniel#cite_note-1 - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Elbereth_Gilthoniel#cite_note-1 -}}
