John Ronald Reuel Tolkien. The Children Of Hurin (№ 148491)

Elves - the people are lovely and wonderful, and they have power over the hearts of the people. And yet it seems to me sometimes that it would be better if we with them never to meet, and to live his own simple life.

In their pale light we are - or are perishing too quickly, and the burden of the fate of our heavier pressure on the shoulders.
- My father loves them with great love, - replied to Turin, and he knoweth not joy away from them. He says we learned that the elves have almost everything that we know, and there was a higher and nobler; and he says that people who recently came over the mountains, no better than orcs.
- That is true, answered Sador - at least on some of us. But to rise up painfully, and height too easy to fall into the abyss.
