Perhaps the image of the spider is connected with the fact that in childhood I was bitten by a tarantula; in any case, if anyone wants to think so, I don't mind at all. I can only say that I myself don’t remember anything about it (if they didn’t tell me, I would completely forget), but I don’t feel antipathy for spiders as such, I don’t crush them and don’t trample them under my feet. On the contrary, I let out into the street those whom I find from time to time.

We celebrated the day of good children.

Sadly so, to admit, for some reason.

And Sauron falsely assured the sovereign that infinite life was given to the conquerors of the Lands of Immortality and that the Vow was then imposed so that human power would not surpass the power of the Valar. But

The happier they lived, the more desirable elven immortality seemed.

Endowed with a long lifespan, at first three times the usual, they still remained mortal: even the powerful Valar were not in the power to take away their human destiny (which later became known as the fateful fate).

I do not say: do not cry, there are also tears of joy.
