Laer Beren a Lúthien

[Lúthien]

this is my longest until now ... I wrote it in the first week of March this year, and kept changing bits of it - Tuilinde gave me some good ideas this summer, and after the Omentièlva I changed another couple of lines.

I tried to preserve both meter and rhyme scheme and in general it seems to work. I was surprised to find that the limitations set by that rather worked as a stimulus than as a limitation - it is like the narrow embedding defined by such rules works as a huge creativity booster. The smaller available maneuvering space makes easier to fashion the whole thing. Not sure if that makes any sense, but that's how I experience it.
