Tolkien quote of the day:

And they observed the winds and the air, and the matters of which Arda was made, of iron and stone and silver and gold and many substances: but of all these water they most greatly praised. And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.

The Music of the Ainur, AINULINDALË, The Silmarillion

bullet Last Words by lbilover Last Updated: 7/10/2008
A ficlet set in Minas Tirith in 1442, during the year that Sam, Rosie and Elanor spent at the court of the King. I was re-reading The Departure of Boromir, and was bit by a plot bunny inspired by this passage: ’He fled, certainly,’ said Aragorn, ‘but not, I think, from Orcs.’ What he thought was the cause of Frodo’s sudden resolve and flight Aragorn did not say. The last words of Boromir he long kept secret.
