And all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well when the tongues of flame are in-folded into the crowned knot of fire and the fire and the rose are one.

Arwen Vanimelda, Namarië!

"Then for a season they wandered together in the glades of Lothlórien, until it was time for him to depart. And on the evening of Midsummer Aragorn, Arathorn’s son, and Arwen daughter of Elrond went to the fair hill, Cerin Amroth, in the midst of the land, and they walked unshod on the undying grass with elanor and niphredil about their feet. And there upon that hill they looked east to the Shadow and west to the Twilight, and they plighted their troth and were glad. "

Here we are, rereading the Lord of the Rings again.

“Dark is the Shadow, and yet my heart rejoices; for you, Estel, shall be among the great whose valour will destroy it.” But Aragorn answered: “Alas! I cannot foresee it, and how it may come to pass is hidden from me. Yet with your hope I will hope. And the Shadow I utterly reject. But neither, lady, is the Twilight for me; for I am mortal, and if you will cleave to me, Evenstar, then the Twilight you must also renounce.”

And she stood then as still as a white tree, looking into the West, and at last she said: “I will cleave to you, Dúnadan, and turn from the Twilight. Yet there lies the land of my people and the long home of all my kin.”

Leave it! It is over.

#The Lord of the Rings#Aragorn#Boromir#formative influences#file under: things that are not okay#apart from the fact Boromir's first concern is for Merry and Pippin#and for Frodo#and then to confess his weakness#(the Ring tormented him; Boromir loved his home and his people and the Ring taunted him with the possibility of saving them)#the way Aragorn -- who is heralded in the text for his abilities as a healer#(it's one of the things that marks him as the true king)#tells him to lie still#means Aragorn was trying to save Boromir up until the last moment#and not just physically#telling Boromir he has kept his honor is as much a rescue as saving his life would have been#there are many legitimate criticisms of the books and the movies#but the way Tolkien wrote of love and companionship will stay with me forever
