Well, I finished The Cottage of Lost Play last night, and I am suprised at how much the home of Londo and Vaile reminds me of Rivendell, escpecially the room where the Great Fire is located. It has the same 'feel' as the Hall of Fire.
As a mother, I also felt concern for the children while I was reading it. I immediately thought of their parents' pain in losing their child. Of course, the children are in a wonderful, joyful place, but I can't help feel a little sorrow for the families left behind.
I will read the poems tonight, and tell you what I think, lindil.
