Ithilien

So much is blighted here, but much remains. Stones stand for centuries, but my father’s city has not this green strength, reborn in spite of fire and ax. Each Spring I see hope in the little things which push up through last autumn’s fall, or twine around the ruined homes as if to hide the work of war.

And in this dreadful Spring hope lies in little things. Would I have had the will to let the hobbits go had I never noticed how the daisies spring back up to the sun after the boots of armies have gone past?

Beautiful insight of Faramir! (And of course they are not post-quest . Sorry.)

I'm really enjoying your "Ithilien" series. Faramir is a unique character, in that he has the heart of a poet and is thoughtful and able to envision more than meets the eye. You capture him beautifully.

You did it again! You wench! I am crying after 100 words. How do you do that? (I can hardly type...)

I do think it is a marvel how you can pack so much meaning and such powerful concepts in so few words. Quite a lovely talent, my dear! Bravo!
