“The Lord Of The Rings - The Fellowship Of The Ring” first edition (1954)J.R.R. Tolkien’s “Lord Of The Rings” saga and his other fantasy works, were one of the main influences and inspirations for Varg Vikernes. In the “Filosofem” album released in 1996, there is a song called “Beholding the Daughters of the Firmament” which was highly influenced by a song called “I Sit Beside the Fire and Think” found in J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Fellowship Of The Ring”, sung by Bilbo Baggins in Rivendell on 24th December T.A. 3018, a few days before Frodo and the Fellowship set out to Mordor. Bilbo sang the song in the presence of Frodo, after giving Frodo the Mithril-coat and the elvish knife called Sting. The song is a contemplative piece, sung by a now-aging hobbit recalling past events that ends in anticipation of hearing returning friends.« I sit beside the fire and thinkof all that I have seenof meadow-flowers and butterfliesin summers that have been;Of yellow leaves and gossamerin autumns that there were,with morning mist and silver sunand wind upon my hair.I sit beside the fire and thinkof how the world will bewhen winter comes without a springthat I shall ever see.For still there are so many thingsthat I have never seen:in every wood in every springthere is a different green.I sit beside the fire and thinkof people long agoand people who will see a worldthat I shall never know.But all the while I sit and thinkof times there were before,I listen for returning feetand voices at the door.
