Unfinished Tales...
I just had to bring this up, in part because I wanted to flap my big mouth about a scene in UT that I just love. So, what is your favorite?
I really like Aldarion and Erendis, but my favorite of all is Cirion and Eorl(iii), entirely because I think the setup for the revelation of the grave of Elendil is just beautiful. I love the description of the Firienwood. Just lovely! I got a huge kick out of knowing what became of Elendil, even if it is just the site of his grave.
And isn't the revelation of the secret vault prepared by Sauruman for the Ring and already containing the case in which Isildur carried the Ring just perfect? Especially since the implication is there that Saruman would have recovered Isildur's body and burned it? Grisly!
