| What a wonderful way to imagine the Captain General spending his days, rather than never to feel joy again. Author Reply: Yes, I think he would take great satisfaction and joy in this work, and those lucky boys have the best martial arts instructor in Gondor, LOL! | |

| You and Feanor certainly have "chemistry" in the making of this poem! Fascinating look at the process of artistic creation, Noldor-style, in a poem. Very well done! | |

| Great vignette! I loved the detail about Boromir's pauldrons, the armorer's pride in his work, and the realization that just as Boromir won't return, he won't make anything that good again. And poor Faramir; knowing it too and missing his big brother. | |

| Excellent and very evocative drabble. You have a marvelous command of language and tone. And I learned a new word, "soughing". Author Reply: You thought this was Chapter 14--faked you out, didn't I? :-D B. | |

| Wow, Branwyn! Eowyn's myth about the lunar eclipse is spectacular, and so Rohirric in nature. I'd say you must be an expert on their culture to come up with that. It's pure genious! :) Author Reply: Drake-- I am especially happy that you, of all people, would like this! No expert but I am good at borrowing, LOL--I remembered the dragon with his hoarded treasure in "Beowulf." Thanks for writing! Branwyn | |

| Geez. Poor Finduilas. I can only imagine how much she missed her home. | |

| This made me laugh. Men are the same everywhere, I think. | |

| OK. I have to admit my ignorance. Who's the Armsmaster? Author Reply: Boromir lives!! (So I figured he needed some sort of gainful employment, preferably in a remote location.) Branwyn | |

| You know, Branwyn, you're very good with images. And here you use them nicely to evoke emotions. Author Reply: Thanks for your kind review! I wrote this after my husband and I watched the lunar eclipse last month--that is always an eerie thing to watch! Branwyn | |

| Much,much clearer now that you have adjusted the names a bit to reduce confusion. A nice addition to my favorite genre, BoromirLives! Thank you for the lovely gift. Author Reply: Ann, I am so glad you found these over here! Now I must admit my ignorance--when I wrote the first draft of this, I did not know that Barahir was Faramir's grandson. I just thought it was a good-sounding name to use in my drabble (and much confusion ensued). Oops! Branwyn | |
