1977 - Tolkien's greatest (if perhaps the most difficult) work...
SAURON - "the Abhorred" - in the Sindarin elvin tongue Gorthaur the Cruel - in his beginning he was of the maiar of the vala Aule (significant in that Saruman/Curunir was, also) - a spirit that the Great Enemy of the world, Melkor the Morgoth, seduced to himself in the days when Melkor still was in his splendor, the mightiest of all the angelic beings, who drew many of the Maiar to him. Sauron was his greatest captain, and virtual 'second in command' of the evil domains he established in Middle-Earth, and was only less evil than his master in that for long he served another, and not himself. In all the deeds of the Dark Lord in Arda, Sauron had a part. And after the First Age, when Morgoth was overthrown by the great host of the Valar, Sauron being captured was repentent, and some say this was not at first falsely done (if only out of fear), but he was unwilling to return to Valinor for judgement of what might be long and painful servitude to prove his words, and he fled to the east of Middle-Earth, a dark, malevolent spirit hating all others, for the bonds that the Great Enemy Morgoth had laid on him were very great . . . and in after Ages, he rose like a shadow of his master, and followed down the same ruinous destructive path into the VOID ....

"As Goodgulf stepped onto the bridge the passage echoed with an ominous dribble, dribble, and a great crowd of narcs burst forth. In their midst was a towering dark shadow too terrible to describe. In its hand it held a huge black globe and on its chest was written in cruel runes, 'Villanova.'
'Aiyee,' shouted Legolam, 'A ballhog!'"

Have you ever read "The Silmarillion in 1000 Words"? It cracks me up: http://camwyn.livejournal.com/328358.html
