Silmarillion: Melian Portrait

Description

Melian the Maia, as Thingol may have first seen her.

But he came at last to a glade open to the stars, and there Melian stood; and out of the darkness he looked at her, and the light of Aman was in her face.

She spoke no word, but being filled with love Elwe came to her and took her hand, and straightway a spell was laid on him, so that they stood thus while long years were measured by the wheeling stars above them; and the trees of Nan Elmoth grew tall and dark before they spoke any word.


(J.R.R. Tolkien, The Silmarillion, Of Thingol and Melian)

I quite like this, there's a rather matronly feel about her. But still beautiful and enchanting! And that's how I envisage Melian.
