" ...for the maids and women of the Gondothlim were as fair as the sun and as lovely as the moon and brighter than the stars. Glory dwelt in that city of Gondolin of the Seven Names, and its ruin was the most dread of all the sacks of cities upon the face of Earth. "

― J.R.R. Tolkien , The Book of Lost Tales, Part Two (The History of Middle-Earth, #2)
