A Day to Remember

[linaewen]

Taking his axe the Dwarf now cut several branches. These they lashed together with bowstrings, and spread their cloaks upon the frame. Upon this rough bier they carried the body of their companion to the shore, together with such trophies of his last battle as they chose to send forth with him. It was only a short way, yet they found it no easy task, for Boromir was a man both tall and strong.

At the water-side Aragorn remained, watching the bier...

I love that woman's work. And the text of Gimli - wow! Very nice indeed.

Thank you for sharing that, ((((Lin)))). CKC is an excellent artist.

That's a beautiful tribute.

So moving. Just lovely. I hope the emotions stem from literature and caused deep ponderings in life and not the opposite.

Indeed! It was a good day for thinking and not a sad day at all, even remembering (almost at the last minute) that I had not yet paid tribute to my hero on his death anniversary. I think I tend to forget about his dying because I am constantly thinking about him alive and working his way back home, lol!

As for that, much progress was made in the writing of the newest chapter, so I'm excited about that!

Oh my word......what impressive artwork....
I have not read your story but this sure
intrigues me and encourages me to read it.
BTW. that piece of Sharpe ff, Sharpe's Trophy
is NOT slash......it involves Sharpe in Gondor with Boromir..

I can't wait to read that Sharpe in Gondor story, thanks so much for the link! I have it bookmarked now. In fact, I think I might just start reading now. ;-)

Here's the link to the story I've been working on, if you are interested in looking at it sometime. It's a Boromir!Lives tale, because I can't bear to have him dead!

There are more chapters than this, but I haven't posted them as yet.

[black-raven135.livejournal.com]

Excellent!! Thank you
:-) (I have bookmarked it. I often
read at that site)
Sometime ago I began writing
The Darkness of Amon Hen
It is as a result of a very vivid
dream I had and it features a very much
alive, although badly wounded, Boromir,
following the battle.....
I am currently on chapter three and am
trying to determine if I want to continue.

[lin4gondor.livejournal.com]

That sounds very intriguing! Both the dream and the story. If you decide to keep going with it, I'd like to read it, if you don't mind.

My dream, which started all of this, was very vivid.....It was like I was there in person...
They lay on couches similar to the one Theodred lay on as he was dying, but they were in a huge, very airy room, similar to the one which Elrond and Gandalf were standing in as they looked out over Rivendell in FOTR.
I believe Boromir and Aragorn were at Gondor, not Rivendell, as the latter was too far from Amon Hen. There did not appear to be nobody else in the large, well lit room with them (how could they just leave them alone???)......Aragorn appears to be unconscious, but Boromir is conscious and looks over at him and then tries to get up. He manages with great difficulty; when he does, he staggers over to Aragorn, pleading with him to get well, telling him he is king of Gondor. Gondor needs him.
Then my alarm went off
