J.R.R. Tolkien discussion

The Book of Lost Tales, Part One
Just began reading the Book of Lost tales part 1 and on this icy cold night,after the long trek (it certainly felt long to me) home from work, this sentence was particularly heart-warming. So I added it to the 'J.R.R Tolkien quotes' on Goodreads.
“Now was he at the summit of the hill amidst its houses, and stepping as if by chance he turned aside down a winding lane, till, a little down the western slope of the hill, his eye was arrested by a tiny dwelling whose many small windows were curtained snugly, yet only so that a most warm and delicious light, as of hearts content within, looked forth.”

Which words of this great author felt relevant at the moment you were reading them?

yet only so that a most warm and delicious light, as of hearts content within, looked forth. Yet, how can one truly appreciate the joy and warmth of that moment unless one is returning from a long and dangerous journey and are tired and hungry?

You are making me want to re-read the History of Middle Earth books. ;)

YES, we do share a common life.
