faramirgirl! I hope you have a wonderful day and many, many more!
And one more Half-Blood Prince essay recommendation, for good measure:fabularasa's "There is no room for misinterpretation of this book."
In honor offaramirgirl's birthday, a special quote for the day, one that captures the heart of a Hobbit:
In western lands beneath the Sun
the flowers may rise in Spring,
the trees may bud, the waters run,
the merry finches sing.
Or there maybe 'tis cloudless night
and swaying beeches bear
the Elven-stars as jewels white
amid their branching hair.
Though here at journey's end I lie
in darkness buried deep,
beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.
from The Return of the King, J.R.R. Tolkien

Snape has always been on the outside. Now, by his brave choice, he has placed himself permanently outside of every one, every circle, every place that might offer peace. He will never be able to forgive himself for what he had to do to Dumbledore.
Augh, well said indeed. I couldn't agree more. And your excerpt from "Ladder of Divine Ascent" was perfect in a bittersweet way. "Pleasureless feeling cherished in the sweetness of bitterness" - could that describe Snape any better, at least the Snape we've been allowed to see for the last several years?
You rock. Thanks for stopping by with such fantastic contributions. Love to you!
