The old folksong based on this poem is well enough known by those of us who love such music. Peter, Paul, and Mary did their own version, and I found the music for it running through my head as I was reading. Attraction is there, and it would be nice were it to grow into a first love for the two of them. And perhaps word of Ragnor will come to them--I only pray that he is not among the Haradrim that pursued them. | |

To be honest, the story of Faramir as a Ranger, and what he learns from his Captain, interests me far more than Nienna, or Faramir's developing feelings towards her, but that's partially my personal bias against OFCs talking. And Faramir seems very young, emotionally, to know true love at this point in his life. What happened to poor Arvegil - will his body ever be found? And yes, having Morwen as a companion is realistic for Nienna. Fascinating that Denethor spent the whole night keeping vigil at Faramir's bedside, then left before speaking to him. More soon, I hope. | |

I continue to be impressed by how well-written this is. You suggest Faramir's feelings very delicately, and the Old Man and his sister also come alive. | |
