Boromir's death scene - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Everyone here remembers the death of Boromir in FoTR. Now when Boromir knows his time has come he reaches for a sword and as A. gives it to him he says his last words: "I would have followed you my brother...my captain...my king!"<BR>Now what do you think, was the sword in question A.Boromir's or B.Aragorn's? And, consecutively, how should those words be interpreted? Was that Boromir's (late) oath of allegiance to Aragorn through A's sword? That's what I thought it might be but I'd gladly here some other opinions.
