Silmaril Elentári

Greetings.

At times I sit back and wonder about the ultimate beauty in Tolkien's writings. His love for the ćsthetics (in linguitics and the other arts) cleared the way for things of majestic grandeur. But, I will stop here, for only God knows how long the complete analysis of the beauty in Tolkien's writings will be.
There is however one entity of supreme beauty that caught my attention more than anything else in Tolkien's work. Beyond the indescribable radiance in the faces of the Elves, there is above all grace in the Kingdom of Arda, the beauty of the Queen of Queens: Varda.

Elbereth possesses a mystery that lies hidden, I believe, in the mind and heart of J. R. R. Tolkien - God bless his soul.

What exactly inspired the Father of High Fantasy Literature to mention the Queen of the Stars in his legendarium?
