"Lament for Boromir" March 21 Challenge: We were young, we were merry, we were very, very wise, And the door stood open at our feast, When there passed us a woman with the West in her eyes, And a man with his back to the East. -Mary Elizabeth Coleridge The words West and East are often used in the works of Tolkien. Write a story or poem or create an artwork that uses these words as the central focus, whether as cardinals, regions, or as metaphors. This is the song sung by Aragorn and Legolas as they prepared Boromir's funeral boat. I felt that the use of the cardinal directions, West, South and North, as well as Aragorn's comment to Gimli on the East Wind made it the perfect choice for calligraphy for this challenge.
