“It's amazing how lonely a place where you were once happy can become.”
Kathleen Tessaro, Rare Objects

J.R.R. Tolkien
“and all was healed and made good, and the houses were filled with men and women and the laughter of children, and no window was blind nor any courtyard empty;
and after the ending of the Third Age of the world into the new age it preserved the memory and the glory of the years that were gone.”
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Return of the King
