A Teleri Treasury  by Rhyselle 4 Review(s)

I love how this ties to the faith one. He's had faith, built the ships, made the ropes and now...

Justification!

I also have always loved the image of the swans towing the ships. Am really loving these Olwe drabbles!

Author Reply: I wasn't sure how to end it and then, in my mind's eye, I saw Olwe laughing and it fell into place.

This was directly attributable to the lovely Ted Naismith painting of the swans drawing the ships to Aman. :)

I'm so very glad you are enjoying these ficlets!

Hah! If I were Olwe I wouldn't help but feel smug, too!

Author Reply: *grin* I admit that I would feel smug too, were I in his shoes. There is some satisfaction at being proved right when no one believes you. Thanks for reviewing!

"he laughed with awe and joy -- and not a little justification" -- A perfect description; I can see his face.

And perhaps that was part of the reason for the naming of Alqualondë.

Author Reply: I'm so glad you liked this. I can't give a detailed enough description of the face I see, but I'm glad that you were able to "see" it anyway. :)

Thanks for reviewing!

Oh, wonderful! The swans have come and offer the help they can!

Author Reply: The description of the swans pulling the ships in the SIL has always been a very vivid scene in my head--and Ted Naismith caught that vision beautifully in his artwork, which I saw in the Illustrated SILMARILLION second edition. There was no way that I could leave that out of this series. :) Thanks for reviewing!
