| The last line of this one is truly haunting and really reflects how Tolkien viewed the call of the Sea. Author Reply: The Sea-longing is a facet of Tolkien's writings that has really fascinated me. Then again, I have a bit of it myself, having been in the Navy for 24 years, and in love with it since my grandparents first took me to Rehobeth Beach, Delaware when I was a child. It figures that I live in the midwest, with no easy way to reach the sea! | |

| No, Earendil has ever been the Mariner from his first sight of the Sea, I suspect; and that he should end up sailing nightly for eternity seems so right! Author Reply: Well, I do think that he returns regularly to spend time with his wife. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised during the months when Venus isn't visible because of the transition from morning to evening star and back again through the course of the year, that Earendil doesn't end up in Alqualonde on a regular basis, in the shipyards, and sailing along the coast of Aman... | |

| poor Idril and Elwing both - the sea was stronger than both of them in Earendil's heart. Nicely done! Author Reply: Thanks, Kaylee! I think that the family members of all those addicted to the sea wish that it could be otherwise. | |

| Beautifully written, meldenya! I can visualize Earendil perfectly in my head now, where I had no clear picture of him before. OK...he was blond, while his sons were dark-haired? I suppose they got it from Elwing's side of the family...*ponders* Kaylee! Author Reply: I have a good mental image of him now. Still haven't found any pictures that meet it yet, but I figure someone someday will post something at Deviant Art that fits! LOL! And yes, Elwing's hair was dark, like Dior's, which came down from Luthien's and Luthien got hers from Melian. | |
