Prediction 65. ‘Stoop’ Éowyn, Witch-king.

Tolkien Prediction #65. That Tolkien would use the word ‘stoop’ in the scene with Éowyn and the Witch-King.

“Down, down it came, and then, folding its fingered webs, it gave a croaking cry, and settled upon the body of Snowmane, digging in its claws, stooping its long naked neck.”

This forms part of the narrative thread that is linked in the 7 unveilings. It involves stooping symbolism influenced by William Goldsmith’s ‘She Stoops to Conquer’.
