quote cont:

“Against the backhoes of her practical, sensible clan she shone like a diamond flame. Many people liked hers menu disliked her. No one was ever wholly indifferent to her.”

“Generations of lovely women were behind hers they had all given her something of personality. She the grace of running water. Something, too, of its sparkle and limpidity. A thought swayed her like a strong wind. An emotion shook her as a tempest shakes a roses she was one of those vital creatures of whom, when they do die, we say it seems impossible that they can be dead…”

HA the first time I’ve heard someone say dark circles were pretty. I sort of like that.

“Purplish gray eyes, with violet shadows under them that always seemed darker and more alluring after Emily had sat up to some unfold and un-Elizabethan hour completing a story or working out the skeleton of a a plot;”

I’m not ugly-tired… I’m alluring and violet 😁😆💜

“For those of you to whom she comes as a stranger let me draw a portrait of her as she seemed to the outward eye at the enchanted portal of seventeen, walking where the golden chrysanthemums lighted up an old autumnal, maritime garden.”

what a way with words!

so many good quotes already and I’m one on page 4 😭

“I really think that if Emily’s eyes had not so often seemed to be looking at something dreamy and lovely and secretive Aunt Elizabeth might have had more sympathy with her ambitions. None of us, not even self-sufficient Murray’s of New Moon, like to be barred out.”

“She was filled with youth’s joy in mere existence. Life was forever luring and beckoning her onward. She knew that a hard struggle was before her.”

“Yes! The Elf-Warrior is loose!” he cried. “I’m coming. Just you show me the way up, or I’ll skin you!”

I just love Sam 🤣

Snippet of song about one of the largest battle’s in the book… really good imagery.

“Long now they sleep under grass in Gondor by the Great River. Greg now as tears, gleaming silver, red then it rolled, roaring water: foam dyed with blood flamed at sunset; as beacons mountains burned at evening; red fell the dew in Rammas Echor.”

Convo continued:
“You come none too soon, my friend. Much loss and sorrow has befallen us.”
“Then let us avenge it, ere we speak of it!” said Aragorn, and they rode back to battle together.

• I really like the way this shows their friendship… true friendship! Éomer is really growing on me. •

Loved this:
“Thus we meet again, though all the hosts of Mordor lay between us,” said Aragorn. “Did I not say so at the Hornburg?”
“So you spoke,” said Éomer, “but hope oft deceives, and I knew not then that you were a man foresighted. Yet twice blessed is help unlooked for, and never was a meeting of friends more joyful.” And they clasped hand and hand. “Nor indeed more timely,” said Éomer.

“A creature or an older world maybe it was, whose kind, lingering in forgotten mountains cold beneath the Moon, outstayed their day and in hideous eyrie bred this last untimely brood, apt to evil.”

Bone chilling. Talk about a monster.

WHOO HOO TODAYS GOAL ACCOMPLISHED ONE FOURTH DONE!!!

goal to be at least halfway through by end of week… 65% would be AMAZING…

“Why? Why do the fools fly?” Said Denethor. “Better to burn sooner than late, for burn we must. Go back to your bonfire! And I? I will go now to my pyre to my pyre! No tomb for. Denathor and Faramir! No tomb! No long slow sleep of death in embalmed. We will burn like heathen kings before a ship sailed hither from the West. The West has failed. Go back and burn!”

Hes being hopeless but still sounds fierce🔥

“He caught the glint of clear grey eyes; and then he shivered, for it came suddenly to him that it was the face of one without hope who goes in search of death.” ⚔️

dang

Poor Merry 😭

“I can ride and wield blade, and do not fear either pain or death.”
“What do you fear, lady?”
“A cage,”she said. “To stay behind bars, until use an old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.”

Okay Éowyn is pretty cool… if not a little whiny and bratty at first…

Okay but bro if Aragorn doesn’t want Éowyn to fall in love with him why is he borderline flirting with her?? Dude read the room… 🤨
