| What an interesting, and thoughtful view of Gandalf. I wonder if wizards *do* fall ill? Author Reply: I wonder, too! (What an interesting speculation... I imagine he would not be the most patient of patients...) | |

| Ah, perfect! Poor Gandalf, somewhere out in the wilds, and blessed Fortinbras, worrying about him. And thanks to our Dreamflower, figuring out the proper name for the equinox! Well done! Author Reply: Yes, Dreamflower is a treasure! Thanks! | |

| You can really feel how young Fortinbras is in this entry, and yet you can also see his compassion, as he worries about Gandalf out in the pouring rain. I too, wonder, did Gandalf ever fall ill? After all, one of the conditions under which the five Maia became the Istari is that their physical forms would be subject to all the physical infirmities of their appearance, with the exception of getting older (than they were to begin with), and clearly as we learned with Gandalf, they could even die. Yet we don't see any indication that Gandalf was ever sick or ill... And thanks for asking me that question! It was a fun thing to speculate on, and now I have a name for it as well! Author Reply: Now there's a bunny! Gandalf's first-ever cold... (Why do I have visions of hobbits tucking him up, with flannel-wrapped hot bricks for his feet and a mustard plaster for his chest?) Perhaps that's the nature of the pity that excited his interest in hobbits, as it says somewhere, I forget where, during the Long Winter. LOL! | |
