Many a man of arms misreads patience and quiet. She did much good among us at much cost. Her heart was not faint, and patience will break at the last.
They dared not touch her, though, for they feared her; proud and fair as a queen, before sorrow marred her. Witchwife they called her, and shunned her. Witchwife: it is but “elf-friend” in the new language.
In truth little fear was seen in her face or her bearing. Tall and strong she seemed; for of great stature were those of Hador’s house, and thus clad in Elvish raiment she matched well with the guards.

lord of the rings ladies week day seven | hope | gilraen | @lotrladiessource
“This is our last parting, Estel, my son. I am aged by care, even as one of lesser Men; and now that it draws near I cannot face the darkness of our time that gathers upon Middle-earth. I shall leave it soon.”
Aragorn tried to comfort her, saying: “Yet there may be a light beyond the darkness; and if so, I would have you see it and be glad.”
But she answered only with this linnod: “Ónen i-Estel Edain, ú-chebin estel anim: I gave Hope to the Dúnedain, I have kept no hope for myself,” and Aragorn went away heavy of heart.

O slender as a willow-wand! O clearer than clear water!
O reed by the living pool! Fair River-daughter!
O spring-time and summer-time, and spring again after!
O wind on the waterfall, and the leaves’ laughter!

So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen; Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Lúthien had come on earth again; and she was called Undómiel, for she was the Evenstar of her people.
- J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings
[ID: A set of four graphics, in black and white.
1: A person streched on a bed, wearing glittering fabric. Text reads "for she was the evenstar of her people" in the upper left corner, and "the last ember" on the right side
2: A black and white image of the brazilian model Anita Pozzo, who has dark eyes and dark curly hair, inside a white frame. She is turning to look over her shoulder. Text reads "Arwen" above the image and "Noble maiden" along the right side of it
3: Another image of Anita Pozzo, this time facing front. Text reads "Undomiel" above, and "evening star" below the image
3: Smoke rising up into black. Text reads "of a dying age" along the image's left side (completing the quote from the first graphic), and "mine is the choice of Luthien, and as she so I have chosen, both the sweet and the bitter" in the bottom right corner.

Yet she was doomed to wait upon an old man, whom she loved as a father, and watch him falling into a mean dishonoured dotage; and her part seemed to her more ignoble than that of the staff he leaned on.

lord of the rings ladies week day two | women of the north | vidumavi galadwen | @lotrladiessource
Valacar gave to his son the name Eldacar, for public use in Gondor; and his wife bore herself wisely and endeared herself to all those who knew her. She learned well the speech and manners of Gondor, and was willing to be called by the name Galadwen, a rendering of her Northern name into the Sindarin tongue. She was a fair and noble lady of high courage, which she imparted to her children; but though she lived to a great age, as such was reckoned among her people, she died in 1344.
