As most of you will probably be aware, the second major telling of the Beren and Luthien story is the Lay of Leithian, an epic poem in rhyming couplets of iambic tetrameter. It wasn't completed, but remained in the legendarium, with a similar portion named "Light as Leaf on Lindentree" surviving into The Lord of the Rings.
My question is: how do we want to handle this? Do we want someone in the frame to sing "Light as Leaf on Lindentree"? More portions of the Lay? Do we want to write what the final three Cantos may have sounded like, and include something of those? How do we read poetry without making it boring? Music is a major part of this season, should we set the poetry to music? Lots of room for thoughts here.
