Finduilas & Mormegil

“Then the heart of Finduilas was turned from Gwindor and against her will her love was given to Túrin; but Túrin did not perceive what had befallen. And being torn in heart Finduilas became sorrowful; and she grew wan and silent.” -- J. R. R. Tolkien: The Silmarillion, chapter 21: Of Túrin Turambar “But in those days the radiance of Finduilas also became dimmed, her footsteps slow and her face grave...” … “In truth Finduilas was torn in mind. For she honoured Gwindor and pitied him, and wished not to add one tear to his suffering; but against her will her love for Túrin grew day by day, and she thought of Beren and Lúthien. But Túrin was not like Beren! He did not scorn her, and was glad in her company; yet she knew he had no love of the kind she wished. His mind and heart were elsewhere, by rivers in springs long past.” … “And now Túrin, not knowing what had passed between Gwindor and Finduilas, was ever gentler towards her as she seemed more sad.” -- J. R. R. Tolkien: Unfinished Tales, Narn i Hîn Húrin, notes
