| | Ambush by Rauros Falls, Part Two |
 | | His eyes glitter in the falling rain and the dark eve and as he stops he seems to little care about the flowing water and its cold touch. | | | As the blade falls away from the attack his eyes open and shine brightly in the falling rain. | | | Derkseez falls backward, his side dyed red with blood, as the uruk heaves against him. |

| | [minstrels] Lament for Boromir -- J. R. R. Tolkien |
| | The above poem is a good example of his work: the language is unstrained and natural, the metre and rhyme is never anything less than perfect, the images (especially the striking descriptions of whole landscapes in a few short words) are haunting... | | | Tolkien's massive popularity sometimes leads people (who ought to know better) to dismiss him as being a lightweight author - a writer of lowbrow, escapist fairy tales which no serious student of literature should bother with. | | | A brief glossary / guide: Boromir, son of Denethor: one of the members in the Fellowship of the Ring; died defending his weaker companions against overwhelming numbers. |

| | And his eyes then shifted to stare at where the Falls were, so that he became absolutely silent and lost in the thought of what it would have been like, to be cast over them in a burial boat. | | | With his eyes closed and the rain falling, he could almost imagine himself back in the Shire, taking one of his long walks. | | | "Free?" The very word felt foreign to his tongue and Boromir finally tore his gaze away from the Falls and the river's path around the Tindrock, to look down at Frodo. |
