 jewelledhunter 2005-10-10 . chapter 1Excellent! Isn't that the one that was posted on I like it! |
 Steelsheen 2005-01-21 . chapter 1This has always been one of my favorite fanfiction poems (I've seen it in a bunch of places). It's definitely one of the best. It's so romantic and the imagery is so great... I had assumed it would have a billion reviews. Anyway, it's gorgeous and I'm adding it to my favorites. :)

 Kayden Eidyak 2004-01-02 . chapter 1Well, that was sorta sad. At least the beginning. But it ended happy, so that was good. Yes, you are giving me a new appreciation of of Eomer. Oh! Great idea just struck me! Do one about Eowyn and Faramir! Please? Pretty please? Do I have to get down on my knees and beg?
*gets down on knees*
I'm BEGGING you! Please do something about Eowyn and Faramir. |
 CelandineHaleth 2003-04-17 . chapter 1Erin,
I spent ages getting registered so I could submit this review. This is, as usual, wonderful. The emotions, the description of the differing environments. There are so many lines that I love starting with
"I dream of seas beneath a prow
That leaps upon the surging waves,"
and continues to
"His golden head upon my breast,
Whilst slumber doth caress his brow."
that I would quote the whole poem to mention it all.
Thank you for sharing, and I'm sorry I didn't get over here sooner to read it!

 shirebound 2003-04-03 . chapter 1What a beautiful poem. It's wonderful to know that a marriage (probably an arranged one) results in love and a blending of souls. Wonderful. |
 celebsul 2003-04-03 . chapter 1 Beautiful in the extreme. I loved it. |
 LadyCoralie 2003-04-03 . chapter 1This is too exquisite for words. All I can say, is I feel blessed to have read it. Beautiful. |
 Joan Milligan 2003-04-03 . chapter 1Bravo! Outstanding! It brings the mind the best classic poetry I've read. |
 Maid of Ainur (too lazy to log in) 2003-04-02 . chapter 1 Oh wow!
The poem makes me think of lovely images.
The language is quite archaic, but it sounds so flowing, and it's easy to understand.
Great job! |
 Klose 2003-04-02 . chapter 1Aw! (I'm sorely tempted to leave my review at that, because I'm so speechless).
I love this. The language has that olden poetic feel to it, but I could still understand the lines without difficult. Beautiful imagery with the lion and the swan. I can see the how you liken Lothiriel with the swan, but admittedly, the Eomer one made me think for a while. It's very appropriate!
I liked how you ended each stanza so solidly;
"And with it wings my questing heart
To shores beyond a distant sun."
And was also struck by the smooth transition to the next stanza... "But now my seas are waves of grass".
Gah, I'm feeling very goofy for Lothiriel/Eomer now. Darn you and you fantastic writing. ;) |
