Pierre<p>Pour le <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a>, j'aimerais attirer votre attention sur un conte trop peu connu de Tolkien (comme tout ce qui n'est pas situé en Terre du Milieu) : "Feuille, de Niggle". Niggle (dont le nom signifie "Scrupuleux") est un peintre, mais ne peut peindre qu'en amateur, à côté de ses multiples devoirs. Il sait qu'un jour il devra partir pour un long voyage, mais procrastine le moment de s'y préparer. Il a entamé un tableau qui représente un arbre, mais chaque feuille qu'il s'efforce de terminer lui demande un temps disproportionné.<br>"Feuille, de Niggle" est une histoire très touchante et plus ou moins allégorique sur la création artistique et la place qu'on lui donne dans la vie.<br>On peut le trouver en français par exemple dans le recueil "Faerie et autres textes".<br><a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/fantasy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>fantasy</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/JRRTolkien" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>JRRTolkien</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/LeafByNiggle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LeafByNiggle</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/cr%C3%A9ation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>création</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a> <a href="https://eldritch.cafe/tags/%C3%A9criture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>écriture</span></a></p>

theHigherGeometer<p>I was trying to think of something that would be suitable, given the theme this year of "Fellowship and Community". Staring over at the shelves, I think not an original, but Tolkien's translation of Beowulf, with the scene in Heorot before Grendel comes later that night:</p><p>"There was laughter of mighty men, the din of singing; sweet were the words. Wealhtheow went forth, Hrothgar's queen, mindful of courtesy; with gold adorned she greeted the men in the hall, and then the cup she offered, noble lady, first to the guardian of the East Danes' realm, and wished him joy at the ale-quaffing and his lieges' love. He, king victorious, in delight partook of feast and flowing bowl. Then the lady of the Helmings went to and fro to every part of that host, to tried men and young proffering the jewelled vessels, until in due time it chanced that she, ring-laden queen of courteous heart, to Beowulf bore the cup of mead, and hailed the Geatish knight, and gave thanks to God in words of wisdom that her desire was granted to her that she might trust in any man for comfort in their miseries. That cup he then received, grim warrior at Wealhtheow's hand, and thereupon, his heart kindled with desire of battle, fair words he said. Thus Beowulf, son of Ecgtheow spake: "This did I purpose when I went up upon the sea and sat me in my sea-boat amid my company of knights, that I wholly would accomplish the desire of your people or would fall among the slain fast in the clutches of the foe. A deed of knightly valour I shall achieve, or else in this mead-hall await my latest day!"</p><p><a href="https://mathstodon.xyz/tags/TolkienReadingDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>TolkienReadingDay</span></a></p>

As a response to the hit movies that made The Lord of the Rings primarily a film franchise to many people, #Tolkien Reading Day was instuted. It's 25 March.

This year I'm reading The Fall of Gondolin, which is the oldest piece of extant Middle-Earth fiction, dating from 1917. I expect it to be similar to the weaker bits of The Silmarillion, i.e. pretty ridiculous.
