Post Quote of the week; Of the ruin of Beleriand and the fall of Fingolfin

Now news came to Hithlum that Dorthonion was lost and the sons of Finarfin overthrown, and that the sons of Feanor were driven from their lands. Then Fingolfin beheld (as it seemed to him) the utter ruin of the Noldor, and the defeat beyond redress of all their houses; and filled with wrath and despair he mounted Rochallor his great horse and rode forth alone, and none might restrain him.


Was this the ride of someone who has lost all hope and is seeking death, or did he think that he would accomplish something by challenging Morgoth?
