Silmaril Goodbye...

Well, I've been with this siggie for such a long time, I felt it was time to change it. I still like it though!

Quote:
Farewell, O twice beloved! A Túrin Turambar turun ambartanen: master of doom by doom mastered! O happy to be dead!
Farewell, oh much beloved! You will return, one day...

Love,

Aethelwine.

From the most lyrical of chapters:

Quote:
For once more lust of battle was on him; and he was still unscathed, and he was young, and he was king: the lord of a fell people. And lo! even as he laughed at despair he looked out again on the black ships, and he lifted up his sword to defy them.
I would have loved to see this depicted in the film.

For now, The Faerie Queene. Very enjoyable, and certainly gives one furiously to think about certain names and motifs . . .

Tolkien

I changed my sig again. It used to be

Quote:
I don't like raisons...all they are is humiliated grapes
Or something to that effect. It's from the movie Benni and Joon.

My current sig are two quotes (the italacized lines) combined into one. The first is a quote from Agent Smith, while the second quote is from Peter Pan. The two combined forms a rather good attitude on life, methinks.

I doubt I'll change mine ever again, but I used to have:

Do not stand between the Nazgul and it's prey. However, if you stand between my lightsaber and the Nazgul, I may have to cut you down as well!
And that was regarding the fact that I am Eowyn Skywalker, and, of course, have a lightsaber... and well, yeah. I had to remove that to make way for my very long link...
