Did you notice that our topic totally fits into the Thread "Túrin and Nienor".

Good luck on your test Friday.
Do try to read the portion of the Athrabeth I posted. It is very beautiful. It is just one of many failed love affairs that Tolkien wrote about. Tragic, sad, but written so beautifully.

I have a question concerning the "history of middle-earth"-row. Are that books in the style of the Books of Lost tales (I know they are part of this row) or are they more actual like the Silmarillion.

Thank you, I'm really looking forward to reading these books as I loved the Silmarillion and the Unfinished Tales. I think I'll get them on my birthday.
And .... on the weekend I'll finally have time to read the text.

Is in any of these books the Story of Nienor and Túrin expanded. Or do they include some more information about the fate of the men if they die?

One of the lays in HoME 3 covers the story of the children of Hurin. Plus, there is the further development of the stories in 4 and 5.

I love that discussion. But I'm not quite sure if I see death as a gift.

It is, though. Imagine being bound to the circles of the world through all the ages, being doomed to fade. I'll take death, thanks.

Ditto, just let them wait a little bit longer for giving me that gift, okay? About 60 or 70 years would be nice.

I can be both, a gift and a torture. Think of living the perfect life and then you die and it is all over. And the other point: If the world is a place with only war and no peace, then death is really a gift.

If you don't die old, then death might be a problem...
