I read books and like to reblog book related things. Be warned: may contain spoilers! Icon is from the cover of Foxlore by the Crane Wives, which you should go and listen to because it's great :D

@lotr20 Day 6: Healing โ‡ข ร‰owyn & Faramir

โ€˜Then must I leave my own people, man of Gondor?โ€™ she said. โ€˜And would you have your proud folk say of you: โ€œThere goes a lord who tamed a wild shieldmaiden of the North! Was there no woman of the race of Nรบmenor to choose?โ€โ€™ โ€˜I would,โ€™ said Faramir. And he took her in his arms and kissed her under the sunlit sky, and he cared not that they stood high upon the walls in the sight of many. And many indeed saw them and the light that shone about them as they came down from the walls and went hand in hand to the Houses of Healing. And to the Warden of the Houses Faramir said: โ€˜Here is the Lady ร‰owyn of Rohan, and now she is healed.โ€™

"What do you fear, lady?" he asked.

"A cage," she said. "To stay behind bars, until use and old age accept them, and all chance of doing great deeds is gone beyond recall or desire.โ€
