Agape's Attempts  by Agape4Gondor 6 Review(s)

This is sad and beautiful. Boromir was responsible for so much and so many for so long, I'm glad he finally found peace and the ability to let go.

Author Reply: If you and the Man from Gondor have taught me anything, it's to let go. Bless you!

Oh, but I love Boromir's more clear-headed evaluation of his relationship with his brother. At least he knows that Faramir will be safe in Aragorn's care, and he accepts Aragorn as the King Returned. And the Voice of the Ring is stilled in his heart now that Frodo has chosen his own road. At least he knows that blessing.

Author Reply: Peace. He really deserved some. He goes to the afterlife in peace. I like what Tolkien said about Boromir's face when Faramir sees him in the boat. Peace filled.

Bless you for your comments.

Alas, poor Boromir. I'm glad he found peace at the last.

Author Reply: Me, too! Our Man of Gondor had suffered enough. Even if he did scare the bejeebies out of Frodo. :-)

Thanks for reading.

Very powerful, Agape. Boromir is so tortured, but I'm glad that at the end he found peace. Welcome back. You've been missed.

Author Reply: At least I still read "Tolkien" stuff. I hope to write more.

I needed a bit of peace, too!

Thanks for commenting. Most appreciated.

Ohhhh, how poignant. I know Boromir found peace somehow. This is well done. *sniff*

Author Reply: Here's one of Bilbo's hankies. He dropped it when he was helping Fili climb out of the barrel. It washed down to the Anduin. Boromir found it and used it in his grief. Aragorn gave it to Faramir. Being a descendant of the Man of Gondor, I happened to get it. I would like it back, when you're finished with it.

BTW - so happy you read and commented.

This touched me so deeply that I cannot find an appropriate comment. My heart has always ached for Boromir. Knowing that all is not lost and his brother will be safe is the only thing that made his passing easier for him.

Author Reply: Bless you. Yes, Faramir has a long and loved-ones filled life ahead of him.
