Drabbles  by Acacea 2 Review(s)

The annoying sound of the horn becomes beloved because it is the harbinger of Boromir's return. What Boromir lacks in musical talent he makes up for in enthusiasm. :-)
I like how, when Faramir is filled with unease by the distant horncall, the music is stripped of its happy associations and seems ugly once more. Another lovely drabble!

Author Reply: Thank you again:)

The grief of hearing the distant, desperate call for aid which could not be answered in time, even by those who were close, and realizing it was the goodbye which Boromir could not later utter from his bed in the Elven boat lapped by the waters of Rauros Falls....

Author Reply: Yes, indeed. I think that one scene in the book has so much punch. It is so clear and touching despite not being depcited.
