 'See here, Captain! ' He planted himself squarely in front of Faramir his hands on his hips, and a look on his face as if he was addressing a young hobbit who had offered him what he called `sauce' when questioned about visits to the orchard. There was some murmuring, but also some grins on the faces of the men looking on: the sight of their Captain sitting on the ground and eye to eye with a young hobbit, legs well apart, bristling with wrath, was one beyond their experience. `See here! ' he said. `What are you driving at? Let's come to the point before all the Orcs of Mordor come down on us! If you think my master murdered this Boromir and then ran away, you've got no sense; but say it, and have done! And then let us know what you mean to do about it. But it's a pity that folk as talk about fighting the Enemy can't let others do their bit in their own way without interfering. He'd be mighty pleased, if he could see you now. Think he'd got a new friend, he would.'

Tolkien quote of the day:

'You do not understand!' said Pippin. 'You must go - and therefore we must, too. Merry and I are coming with you. Sam is an excellent fellow, and would jump down a dragon's throat to save you, if he did not trip over his own feet; but you will need more than one companion in your dangerous adventure.'

 It was not in vain that the young hobbits came with us, if only for Boromir's sake. But that is not the only part they have to play. They were brought to Fangorn, and their coming was like the falling of small stones that starts an avalanche in the mountains.

Great video to talk about Tolkien's other intended ending.
I believe i bought HOME Volume 9 just to read the alternate ending. :D

I"m just so stricken by what Rosie said at 5:05 at the video- omg so sweet! and did imagine her singing when she sees Sam again. :)

periantari: Faramir angst (Faramir angst)
" If ever beyond hope you return to the lands of the living and we retell our tales, sitting by a wall in the sun, laughing at old grief, you shall tell me then. Until that time, or some other time beyond the vision of the Seeing-stones of Numenor, farewell!"
--Faramir

How much fanfic can do post Quest justice with more Gondorian convos between Frodo and Faramir? =)

...
And there is a fic called "Charmed life" but i feel a bunny percolating with this quote. "his life is charmed"-- hmm... is it really?  in what ways? We must explore this.
"The road my pass, but they shall not! Not while Faramir is Captain. he leads now in all perilous ventures. But his life is charmed, or fate spares him for some other end." -Mablung

Tolkien quote of the day:

Suddenly Faramir stirred, and he opened his eyes, and he looked on Aragorn who bent over him; and a light of knowledge and love was kindled in his eyes, and he spoke softly. ‘My lord, you called me. I come. What does the king command?’

The Houses of Healing, RotK

Can it not? i need to sleep now (and not cry).
Good night.

 ‘Then, Éowyn of Rohan, I say to you that you are beautiful. In the valleys of our hills there are flowers fair and bright, and maidens fairer still; but neither flower nor lady have I seen till now in Gondor so lovely, and so sorrowful. It may be that only a few days are left ere darkness falls upon our world, and when it comes I hope to face it steadily; but it would ease my heart, if while the Sun yet shines, I could see you still. For you and I have both passed under the wings of the Shadow, and the same hand drew us back.’

Faramir to Éowyn , RotK

It was the random quote on SoA. thanks for making me teary....:P

 "Obdurate" is a good word. I have not used it before.

Book quotes are so great- you can't get better than this:

King Eomer stood up and said, “Now this is the funeral feast of Theoden the King; but I will speak ere we go of tidings and joy, for he would not grudge that I should do so, since he was ever a father to Eowyn, my sister. Hear then all my guests, fair folk of  many realms, such as have never before been gathered in this hall! Faramir, Steward of Gondor, and Prince of Ithilien, asks that Eowyn Lady of Rohan should be his wife, and she grants it full willing. Therefore they shall be trothplighted before you all.”***




and then what was said.... and Tolkien didn't write more of this... I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO FILL IT. :P with pleasure

... drawing near end of my fic...
but there are still things to resolve. I promise you.
