JRR Tolkien Eden Quote.jpg

“We all long for Eden, and we are constantly glimpsing it: our whole nature... is still soaked with the sense of exile." - J.R.R. Tolkien



O come, O come, Emmanuel,

And ransom captive Israel,

That mourns in lonely exile here,

Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel

Shall come to thee, O Israel.
