Keith,
Not sure it totally applies, but Saruman & Wormtongue? |

No, it is not Sauruman or Wormtongue. Here's a clue to narrow it down: This is a Silmarillion riddle.
Here is a reposting of the riddle: Betrayers betrayed. Fenced in and penned. Denied compensation for treachery's sins. |

You gotta love him!
Inherent strength suppressed by flesh. Clothed in cares and weariness. Divinely chosen, evil’s foe. Uniting Elves and Men and Dwarves. |

Keith's imagery riddle:
Reflected stars give way to grey. Shining sun, blowing trees wave. Someone sleeping under cliff walls, now waving trees begin to fall. |

It's not Hurin. The imagery is from something wholly other.

In fact, it is not allegory but actual images that occur in the narrative.

Welcome to my nightmare
I'm the source of many a nightmare where those who wander are lost. Following ever changing paths to my heart, and to their great cost. |

This is way off the subject, but your response just now reminded me of Monty Pytyhon and the Meaning of Life when Death points to the salmon mousse, and they have that sudden music. Made me laugh.

Young Fatty Bolger laid down for his dreams,
the Old Forest crept in and he woke up and screamed. On this one I will give Beor honorable mention since in many ways Mirkwood fits the riddle too. Last edited by Keith K : 11-14-2003 at 02:32 PM. |
