  • on Bilbo's Last Song (At the Grey Havens) by J R R Tolkien, on October 3, 2005
    Thankyou for the compliment. I will say that it did take me a couple of months to read the books but it wasn't hard, I loved them. I'm still working on the Silmarillion though - I don't know if I'll ever finish reading it. I want to it's just... I think I'm going to read it now.

  • on Blow, Bugle, Blow by Alfred Lord Tennyson, on September 27, 2005
    This is my favourite poem of all time. I always thought the title was "the splendour falls" but I suppose it gained many others in its time.

  • on Bilbo's Last Song (At the Grey Havens) by J R R Tolkien, on September 27, 2005
    Frodo leaves because
    a) He loves Bilbo
    but also
    because the elven race holds almost all of the beauty in the world to him and without Bilbo it's adventures have ended

    During his journey Frodo's personality took a huge hit and he was changed very dramatically. He will always feel the pain of his wound from Weathertop (the dagger wound to his shoulder) and will always long for the ring. His view of the world has been dimmed and he has no way of brightening it again. So, he does what I assume most people would do, he leaves for a brighter place.

    This is my interpretation anyway, I have read the books but I was about 13 (I'm now 17) and I think I have to read them again. I hope I helped and didn't give any wrong info' but like I said it was 4 years ago.

  • on The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, on June 20, 2004
