And as he stepped down from the doors the swans did him reverence, and plucking each a great feather from their wings they proffered them to him, laying their long necks upon the stone before his feet; and he took the seven feathers and set them in the crest of his helm, and straightway the swans arose and flew north in the sunset, and Tuor saw them no more.' -Of Tuor and his Coming to Gondolin "Oh.

 )

I'm really looking forward to the Fall of Gondolin chapter in Lost Tales book 2
I've read the other 2 versions, the one in the Sil and the one in Unfinished Tales, so I am pumped about it! I'm gonna read that first and then start the box set from the beginning
