Alqualondë

[tarion-anarore.livejournal.com]

Ossë consents to teach the Teleri the art of shipbuilding so that they
may join their friends the Noldor, and Alqualondë is founded.

There they dwelt, and if they wished they could see the
light of the Trees, and could tread the golden streets of Valmar and the
crystal stairs of Tirion upon Túna, the green hill; but most of all they
sailed in their swift ships on the waters of the Bay of Elvenhome, or
walked in the waves upon the shore with their hair gleaming in the light
beyond the hill. Many jewels the Noldor gave them, opals and diamonds
and pale crystals, which they strewed upon the shores and scattered in
the pools; marvellous were the beaches of Elendë in those days. And many
pearls they won for themselves from the sea, and their halls were of
pearl, and of pearl were the mansions of Olwë at Alqualondë, the Haven of
the Swans, lit with many lamps. For that was their city, and the haven
of their ships; and those were made in the likeness of swans, with
beaks of gold and eyes of gold and jet. The gate of that harbour was an
arch of living rock sea-carved; and it lay upon the confines of Eldamar,
north of the Calacirya, where the light of the stars was bright and
clear.

In the spirit of sharing the Teleri-love, I humbly link to two of my drabbles (http://www.henneth-annun.net/stories/chapter_view.cfm?stid=4186&SPOrdinal=5).
