God, this is heartbreaking. Wonderful, wonderful story, and the best Denethor I've read in ages. You captured the archaic cadence of his speech so well, and all the poetry and tragedy just cries out from your writing. I love it. Thank you.

Oh dear Eru, your story was amazing. Seriously, I'm not even going to add a smilie to that because it was just so...ah! Just so Denethor and just so perfect! My Denethor tends to get completely sentimental at times (or maybe he doesn't, but my portrayal of him does), but yours was just wonderful in his arrogance and realisation. I think the best way of putting it is canonnical! And trust me, that is definitely a complement!

An amazing piece - wonderful and realistic! Poetic and tragic, it's a true gem of literature. One of the best denethor pieces in a long time, a truly elegant and enchanting piece! Very Happy smiley face

I really like the mingling of verse and prose, and you managed to neither demonize or dilute this wonderfully complex character. Excellent piece!

This is a wonderful characterization of Denethor. All of his pride, jealousy, nobility, despair and, finally, his love for his remaining son shine through. The language is beautiful. It never slides into modernism which would ruin the flow of the piece.

Excellent Denethor; his voice is rarely heard in any form except that of the scolding madman.

The poem fragments fit so beautifully that I was surprized to learn that they were not written expressly for this piece.
