My musings: Poetry in LotR
Part 2. A Walking Song
Another song with more than one version! This time there are only two versions: the first, sung by the three hobbits in Woody End and the second, sung by Frodo in his Last Journey through the Shire.
The first version was so sweet and 'Hobbitish'. For a Hobbit, an adventure is supposed to be short and end well; with a warm fire and a comfortable bed. Singing the first version, none of the Hobbits knew what awaited them; they only knew one type of adventure.
But the second version, Frodo's version, sums up their whole journey. They had walked forward without hope, without a vision of a warm home in the future. Now, after all, it is time for the Last Adventure; Frodo, learned by experience knows how painful leaving what you love behind can be.
Up to this point in the book I had (almost) not cried at all, but....
"A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon and East of the Sun"
It was too much for my nerves. Definitely too much!
Remus and his dear students
I've always been angry that we hardly ever see Lupin's interaction with the Hogwarts students, except, of course, Harry. I think his relationship with, for example, Hermione or the twins would be pure gold.
I really cannot decide...
If more than one applies or you'd choose something not on the list, obviously reblog and put your elaborate fantasy in the notes on Ao3.
Do you know the quiet road
Between the golden fields?
Do you know that the Wizard rode here
With lots of fireworks?
Do you know where he rode
Whistling a quiet song?
Do you know that he also longed
For this place he once called home?
