They were all right, however, Iluvatar was the master of it all. I love your discription of the water fall.


Author Reply: And you are right as well! Iluvatar is a great giver of sometimes hidden beauties.... And I'm so glad you like the waterfall! It must have been spectacular!

And who was to say which was most right?


Not me that is certain. You paint wonderfully vivid pictures Larner.
You remind me of the caves at Wookey Hole (Chedder Gorge) which I visited years and years ago. The impression it left is still with me today.

Author Reply: I've been through the Carlsbad Caverns, which are wonderful, and to the Sea Lion Caves on the Oregon coast. We considered visiting Cheddar Gorge and Wookey Hole when we were in Britain, but never seemed to find the time. I hope to see them one day!

the inner garments of the earth

What a lovely phrase. It's wonderful to see the glories of Nature through many different eyes.

Author Reply: I found myself wondering how the Dwarves would see the underlying stone beneath and behind the water, and for some reason this phrase seemed most appropriate. And each would tend to see things somewhat differently, I'd think.

Thanks so, Shirebound.

Your story reminds me of one beautiful, impressive cave in Slovenia, that I have visited twice. There are other beautiful caves I've seen, but this particular one (Skocjan) has a river roaring in it, and it's big and breath-taking! *wow*

Wonderful story. :)

Author Reply: I've visited Carlsbad Caverns in Texas, and a couple of much smaller caves elsewhere. I've not yet seen an underground river, but would think such a thing could indeed be spectacular. Perhaps I'll be able to visit Skocjan myself one day! Thanks so, Ellynn.
