It is tearing her apart, isn't it? Now, to set things right! Author Reply: Love and being loved does tear people apart. People whose love isn't requited come in for a lot of sympathy, but I think people who are loved by someone they can't love in return deserve some sympathy as well. It can be a painful and embarrassing situation and it gives one an enormous power to hurt, which is an awful feeling unless you actually like hurting people. | |

I loved Firiel's telling Elboron how proud their father is of him; poor fellow doesn't seem to realize. Nice bits of moon-magic in Firiel's supposed bringing of prosperity to the harvests. Author Reply: Elboron is an unduly humble sort of chap, I think - he has to grow up in Faramir's shadow, and that's bound to be hard to live up to! Superstitions grow very rapidly sometimes - look at all those 'urban folktales' that have developed recently. And fertility dances seem to be pretty common in various societies. | |
