The letter is more poetic than the journal page! Poor Sarnai, can't be easy to deal with such a situation. Even if the poem isn't sordid (to the Elves), writing it on a wall is maybe not the best way to go about it...

I liked this glimpse at a more normal (for a given value of "normal") time in Himring, and I liked the interaction between Celebrían and Elrond a lot, too! The allusion to the Dwarvish attitude towards letters was an intriguing detail, too.

Really?  Thank you!  I'll have to lay that on Sarnai's lap, though; obviously she's better at poetry when she's not even trying.  And has long-lost relatives causing havok among newfound friends who are also causing havok.

I'm glad you liked the little snippets.  That thing about the dwarves has gotten some good feedback; I might have to write a dreadfully detailed fic on the art of dwarvish letter-writing as a response, if I find the right inspiration...
