Once again a song has brought him the companion he needs at the moment. And the Lady's light has indeed saved him once more.

Author Reply: I liked the idea of a song too. And the Light too. Le hannon!

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)

Oh my, this chapter is heartbreaking, but so exquisitely written. You take us into the depths with Frodo, and back outwards to the light. I appreciate how you wove Frodo's experience with Sam into his experience with Boromir.

there was little he could do but raise his voice to join the song.

I find this line truly beautiful. It speaks for our lives as well, doesn't it?

Author Reply: Le hannon, my dear! Glad you enjoyed it. I think sometimes it must take great strength to sing amidst such ruin. I liked the way it came out here, so close to the hell it might have been for Frodo at that time, but also the loving presence of a rescuer also. I hope to continue that theme of past and present mingling.

Namarie, God bless, Antane :)
