"Nienor And Glaurung"
Painting by John Howe

But Nienor, being thrown by her steed, yet unhurt, made
her way back to Amon Ethir, there to await Mablung, and came
thus above the reek into the sunlight; and looking westward
she stared straight into the eyes of Glaurung, whose head
lay upon the hill-top.
