It's beautiful, start to finish. Though "Lay of Luthien" is a misconception -- "Leithian" doesn't mean that. The title actually translates "release (from bondage)," which I choose to interpret as Luthien being released from the bondage of immortality and being granted the Gift of Men. No comment on the other.
