The Downers gathered in the parody thread
Save for one who posted early:
She spoke of Ondolindė,
Of Gondolin the bright.
She claimed that Tolkien's villain
Was a hero after all
And though he tried to murder
He did not deserve to fall.
Maeglin was the name she spoke of often.
And Urwen said, her head held high:
"I post for love of Maeglin
My crime is love."
The first response: hS, with book in hand:
"He tried to stab young Earendil,
And that only because he
Failed to throw him off a cliff.
He kidnapped Turgon's daughter
But his strength was far too weak
To fend off Tuor's prowess -
He deserved to take that leap!
A court would judge him guilty in a heartbeat."
And Urwen said, her head held high:
"I stand by love of Maeglin
I'm proud to love."
... I'm gonna get carried away by this.
hS
