This is just perfect - it really gives me the chills.
Also reading the quote again just threw me back to my first time reading the Silmarillion - I remember being so appalled that the Valar would doom all the Noldor - including all their potentially unborn children and their descendants! - for the kinslaying. There are a lot of different interpretations of the whys and hows of that prophecy - but this graphic vividly recalled the outrage I felt back then for me!
