A Vision of Gondolin

Description

'For a while Ecthelion stood silent, looking at Tuor, and slowly awe filled his face, as if in the grey shadow of Tuor's cloak he saw visions from far away. Then he bowed, and went to the fence and laid hands upon it, and gates opened inward on either side of the pillar of the Crown. Then Tuor passed through, and coming to a high sward that looked out over the valley beyond, he beheld a vision of Gondolin amid the white snow. And so entranced was he that for long he could look at nothing else; for he saw before him at last the vision of his desire out of dreams of longing.'

Gorgeous depiction of the scene! Beautifull colors and design of the armors. A tale of Tuor is probably my favourite tale from The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales but I was always mad that his story in the UT ends abruptly with this passage.
