| Hi Nancy, I like this one a lot - the comparison of the Men to Minas Tirith itself, the companionship and loyalty of the troops and the powerful ending with the thought of the bitterness of Victory. |

Already said so elsewhere, but this is quite excellent, the very example of what a drabble can and should do: a slice that reveals, a window that enlightens -- meaning in every word!
Beautifully done, as always!  |

| Once again you astound with the perfect blend of stunning imagery and heartbreaking emotion. You may be Duchess of Redpen, but you are definately the Queen of Drabble. No one that I know can outshine you in your ability to create a vivid portrait with a simple, concise turn of phrase. I have been re-reading The Divine Comedy. When I read the beginning of Canto IX, where Alighieri manages to convey in less than 50 words, Virgil's doubt and Dante's ensuing terror so starkly, it reminded me of your astounding ability...the phrase 'powerfully subtle' came to mind. This is another amazing addition to your collection, of which you should well be proud. |

Fantastic yet again, Nancy. I mean, I adore your portrayal of Boromir, goes without saying, but I just am always awe-struck at your use of words and, as Ghettoelleth's commented, how you can produce something so effective without wasting a single word. Excellent stuff yet again.
