The Parting of Our Ways, a lord of the rings fanfic - FanFiction.Net - 1 views

  • Am I a King? Can my decree,Can Gondor's mark or royal sealCommand the waters of the SeaThat caused the hurt I cannot heal?
  • Not Sauron's wiles nor Morgul-bladeCan torment as the Sea has doneAn Elven soul; and yet you stayedWith me beneath this Eastern sun.
  • If I could heal, and ease your pain –The Valar gave me not that grace;And while in Arda you remain,I face the Doom of all my race.

  • I bade you stay, but I must go.My sun must set; my time is nigh.And oh! It scars my soul to knowThat we'll be sundered, you and I.
  • The Sea caused hurt; another grief,A colder and a deeper painI bring upon you: Men are brief,And we may never meet again.
  • With all my heart I wish you joy,I bid you live in gladness – yetThough I would every skill employ,I cannot ask you to forget.
  • The love of brothers never fades,And you were never less to me;Take comfort, as you walk the gladesOf Eldamar across the Sea.
  • Remember me – your years are long,And this the morning of your days;And never think I meant you wrongUpon this parting of our ways.
  • Remember me; and raise your eyesTo Varda's lights, and know I seeFrom distant shores those very skiesWhose stars you counted once with me.
  • The path before I do not fear,Nor will I grieve for crown or throne;But who this Mortal night will cheerIf you are far in Elven-home?
  • My own bereavement I'll subdueFor Mortal souls were made to part –My soul now trembles most for you,And for a grieving Elven-heart.
  • Remember me; though others mightIn Eldamar delight your heart,I loved you till the Mortal nightDecreed an end to all mine art.
  • I cannot teach you how to heal:Immortal souls will sink and soarTo depths and heights no Man could feel,And if once felt, none ever bore.
  • Remember, Elf, the love we bore,And let your soul in gladness mendThat once, upon this Eastern shore,You knew a Man who called you Friend.

    Good poetry of this sort is rare. Excellent poem.

  • Though a woman of great feeling, Minerva prided herself on restraint and certainly did not consider herself sentimental. She wanted to retire. It was time.
  • A memorial wall of fallen Hogwarts students, teachers, and staff, past and present, was unveiled that night along the 7th floor corridor, near the Room of Requirement. It spanned the length of the corridor and was filled with small but beautiful portraits of every precious life known to have been lost in both wars.
  • Minerva’s task had been to set Hogwarts to rights again, and this she had done with fierce devotion, determination and unswerving love for the school.
  • ...4 more annotations...
  • Harry had reminded her to include Regulus Black’s portrait next to those of Sirius, James, Lily, Fred, Remus and Tonks.
  • Hagrid would help Hogwarts to retain a connection to its history. That was a comfort.
  • Her job was done.
  • She was the thread between old and new; the person who would set Hogwarts firmly back on its feet. And she had done that.
