Agape's Airs & Arias - NOT!  by Agape4Gondor 2 Review(s)
LarnerReviewed Chapter: 12 on 10/23/2007
What a wonderful memorial to Boromir the Bold! Yes, the cost of heroism is all too oft too high!

Author Reply: Thanks, Larner, for your steadfast reading! I could see the man, in the book, with the many arrows (not just 3) that pierced him, still fighting, still hoping for at least enough time to save the Hobbits. Foolish Hobbits - standing and trying to fight with stone....

As a warrior - he knew the cost - but still was surprised by it. *sobs*

This is moving, and true to Boromir. A fitting tribute to his passing.



Author Reply: Thank you. I hated that part in the book and I hated the movie - for it was such a cruel blow to such a 'valiant' man. And to the Fellowship. I understand why Tolkien did it, but the death was so difficul to accept. I'm glad it touched you.
