Still rushing through this! So beautiful. My heart is breaking... The following line is lovely:
"Eventually, I realized that my ambitions exceeded the medium in which I worked, exceeded any medium: no words, no song, no object that can be held in one’s hands can express Vingarië."
It reminds of a stanza from WB Yeats that I am using in my current work in progress.
"I would have touched it like a child But knew my finger could but have touched Cold stone and water. I grew wild. Accusing the host of Valar because It had set down among its laws: Nothing that we love over-much Is ponderable to our touch."
"Towards Break Of Day," William Butler Yeats. I have taken the liberty of replacing two proper names with references fitting Middle Earth.
I can't wait to see these last chapters posted to see what if anything you have changed. The chapters have gotten better and better. I can see that some of later chapters are not quite as polished as the first ones I read, but they are amazing "as is" and I am holding my breath hoping they do not do too much.
Thank you so much for giving me the link to your LJ.
