Dazed and confused... - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

*saunters in humming to herself,
Been Dazed and Confused for so long it's not true.
Wanted a woman, never bargained for you.
Lots of people talk and few of them know,
soul of a woman was created below.

Oh, I came in thinking this would be a discussion of Led Zep and Tolkien. *sheepish grin*

This might be heresy, but I don't read The Silm straight through as a narrative. It has the style of a history, so I use it sort of like an encyclopedia, dipping in and out for specific topics. This allows me to keep track of all the names. Much as the mythology is intriguing, it doesn't entrance me and capture my imagination the way LOTR does. Just MHO.

*dances off humming to herself,

Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands,
To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming!

On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore.
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.
How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. *
