Titolo: vario

Innanzitutto le mie scuse, particolarmente a Beleg, per l'errata citazione
di Hurin; alla mia senescente età (32 anni) la memoria inizia a tradire. :-)
Scherzi a parte, se scrivo cose inesatte, correggetemi senza alcuna remora.
Una domanda "tecnica": come si "risponde" ad un messaggio? Con lo stesso
tasto di Reply che uso per la posta?? Mi sa di no.
Consiglio a tutti l'acquisto de "l'Atlante dlla Terra di Mezzo di Tolkien"
di Karen Wynn Fonstad. E' bellissimo, pieno di descrizioni e di disegni e di
"piante" molto dettagliate sulla TdM ed alcuni luoghi/edifici (Henneth
Annun, Orthanc, Minas Tirith etc)..
Per prevenire eventali dubbi, specifico che nessun mio parente, nemmeno i
miei più remoti cugini, ha alcun intersse economico nella vendita di libri.
:-)
Auguro a tutti Buona Pasqua e domenica ... tifate Ferrari!!
Tra l'altro, chissà se Tolkien si è inspirato al "Cavallino" per il "Puledro
Impennato". Personalmente ne dubito, ammenochè Tolkien, come Enzo Ferrari,
si sia ispirato al "Cavallino Rampante" simbolo di Francesco Baracca, asso
dell'aviazione della I Guerra Mondiale.
Per farmi perdonare quest'ultimo sproloquio, vi invio un'altro po' di
citazioni in inglese.
GIL GALAD
Gil-Galad was an Elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair an free
between the Mountains and the Sea.
His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of heaven’s field
were mirrored in his silver shield.
But long ago he rode away
and where he dwelleth none can say;
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are.
L'ADDIO A BOROMIR
Through Roan over fen and field where the long grass grows
The West Wind come walking, and about the walls it goes.
“What news from the West, O wondering Wind, do you bring to me tonight?
Have you seen Boromir the Tall by moon or by starlight?”
“I saw him ride over seven streams, over waters wide and grey;
I saw him in empty lands, until he passed away
Into the shadows of the North. I saw him then no more.
The North Wind may have heard the horn of the son of Denetor.”
“O Boromir! From the high walls westward I looked afar,
But you came not from the empty lands where no men are.”
From the mouths of  the Sea the South Wind flies, from the sandhills and the
stones;
The wailing of the gulls it bears, and at the gate it moans.
“What news from he South, O sighing Wind, do you bring to me at eve?
Where now is Boromir the Fair? He tarries and I grieve.”
“Ask not of me where he doth dwell - so many bones there lie
On the white shores and the dark shores under the stormy sky;
So many have passed down Anduin to find the flowing Sea.
Ask of the North Wind news of them the North Wind sends to me!”
“O Boromir! Beyond the gate seaward road runs south,
But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea’s mouth.”
From the Gate of the Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls;
And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
“What news from the North, O mighty wind do you bring to me today?
What news of Boromir the Bold? For he is long away.”
“Beneath Amon Hen I heard his cry. There many foes he fought.
His cloven shield, his broken sword, they to the water brought.
His head so proud, his face so fair, his limb they laid to rest;
and Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, bore him upon its breast.”
“O Boromir! The Tower of Guard shall ever northward gaze
To Rauros, golden Rauros-falls, until the end of days.”
IL SOGNO DI FARAMIR
Seek for the Sword that was broken:
In Imladris it dwells;
There shall be counsels taken
Stronger than Morgul-spell.
There shall be shown a token
That Doom is near at hand,
For Isildur's Bane shall waken,
And the Halfling forth shall stand.
Le parole di Gandalf a Frodo
Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give
it to them? Then do not be so eager to deal out death in your judgement. For
even the very wise cannot see all ends.

Dipende da quale newsreader adoperi, ovviamente; normalmente ci sono due 
tasti, "Rispondi all'autore" o "Reply" e "Rispondi al gruppo" o "Follow-
up". Con il primo mandi un'e-mail direttamente all'autore, con il 
secondo rispondi sul ng.
