In the darkest moments of the Lord of the Rings chronicle, when Sam is alone in the midst of Mordor, and surrounded by danger, there is this beautiful moment:
"... peeping among the cloud-wrack above a dark tor high up in the mountains, Sam saw a white star twinkle for a while. The beauty of it smote his heart, as he looked up out of the foresaken land, and hope returned to him. For like a shaft, clear and cold, the thought pierced him that in the end the shadow was only a small and passing thing: there was light and high beauty for every beyond its reach"
