High Window Looking On A Vanished World

"It seemed to him that he had stepped through a high window that looked on a vanished world. A light was upon it for which his language had no name. All that he saw was shapely, but the shapes seemed at once clear cut, as if they had been first conceived and drawn at the uncovering of his eyes, and ancient as if they had endured for ever. [...] No blemish or sickness or deformity could be seen in anything that grew upon the earth. On the land of Lórien, there was no stain."
