Professor J.R.R. Tolkien and his wife, Edith — aka Beren & Lúthien
Long was the way that fate them bore / O'er stony mountains cold and grey / Through halls of iron and darkling door / And woods of nightshade morrowless.
The Sundering Seas between them lay / And yet at last they met once more / And long ago they passed away / In the forest singing sorrowless.

“To bravery belongs slowness to be scared by apprehensions of death, to be of good courage in dangers and bold in facing risks, and to choose a noble death rather than preservation in some base way, and to be the cause of victory. Also it belongs to bravery to labour, to endure, and to play the man. And there accompanies it readiness to dare, high spirits, and confidence; and further, fondness for toil and endurance.”
