I like the flow of this, from generation to generation the hope still burning bright and the memories still carried on.

Thank you, Erulisse!
Yes, they needed to be able to carry on the hope from generation to generation--but in both cases, in the end, their hope was fulfilled.

Oh, I love that. What a great link across the ages. And so sad that time moves on but the instruction stays the same.

[hhimring]

Thank you very much!
As Elrond said in the Council scene--at the end of the First Age, they thought they had won for good, but in the Third Age they found some of the same things needed to be done all over again!

That's a nice comparison.

[hhimring]

Thank you very much!
I'm glad the comparison works for you!

That works really well.

Thank you! I'm glad it works!
