Thanks so very much for your feedback. Yes, I will plead guilty to the occasional metaphor... and (hangs head guiltily) ...mythology. (extends wrist for ruler)

It was nice writing from the viewpoint of a character who left me so much room to speculate! And kudos to Nancy Brooke for thinking of the letters challenge.

Epistolary! Letters give so much room for conjecture, private thought and self-indulgence. And it gave me a great opportunity to write as a wedding remembrance for Starlight, (small, dark and beautiful) who was on that very day leaving her home in Venezuela and her family and her language behind to move to the USA and marry her big blond fiance. I always see them in Eomer and Lotheriel - and consequently her love has also let me see what it takes to make that kind of decision.

This is just lovely, Levade; a perfect snapshot moment. I am just now falling in love with the first age, and because for me the vehicle is Tuor, Cirdan and Ulmo are becoming abiding passions.

I love the glimpse you give us into the alien ways of the race by the matter-of-fact way Cirdan talks about not having a childhood.

I especially loved "Incandescent, blazing jewels that inflamed the senses" and the erotic description of falling in love with the sea.

I like "we made it at least most of the way across the lake." for the glimpse beneath the skin, and "You shall see them again, I promise" gave me a cold chill.

Leaves on the Wind (Signalling Storm) · Sat Sep 06, 2003 12:24 pm

Every single word perfectly placed, right from the beautiful, mythic sense of the hidden meaning in visible things that the title brings, to the last poignant cry for brothers to stand together while they can.

Please bring us the letters TO Ithilien, now!!
