Excellent - rich language that never becomes indulgent; a simple idea that deepens while remaining straightforward; truly a vignette - just a scene, but a beautiful and colorful one.

Excellent! Just as two Kings might write to one another. I would love you to write Aragorn's reply.

Lovely...and I like the use of OE...Tolkien did indeed use OE as the basis for the words of the Rohirrim, including all the names of people, horses, swords and places. Makes me rather sad to think of my beloved Éomer at the end of his life (I adore this character, always have, for 22 years) but what a fitting tribute to such a king! Please do write Aragorn's response...I'd love to read that as well.

You perfectly captured Eomer's point of view. The piece had a conversational tone of one old friend talking to another. And the mixture of joy and regret as Eomer reflects upon his life definitely touched me. Thank you for sharing this work.

Thank you for a lovely and well composed piece! Very touching, without being sappy, and it captured that spirit which is so attractive in his character, even somewhat mellowed by age and experience... Wonderfully done.

Oh, my. That moved me to tears. Seriously. (Do not tell BB). That is one of the best pieces I have ever read, bar none. I cannot express how it moved me. I am...speechless. (And for me, that is saying something). Please, please, write a return missive from Aragorn. You have captured the essence of an old man remembering his youth even as he nears the end of his life. It was the epitome of eloquence and poetry, moving with a flow that defies the gravity of the situation. I must quit before I run out of ways to praise. Thank you. Thank you very much. I offer a toast to your creativity and ability to weave such a moving story.

And you deserve so much more.

Rous sent me your way one afternoon....and I must write. This is one of the most poignant pieces of work I have ever read.

I am not one to spread praise far and wide (ask Rous), but this gave me goose-flesh.

Love the flavor you convey of their friendship, like a fine wine or rich mead. Well done. It would be wonderful to have a return missive from Aragorn!
