Day Twenty-Two

Day 22 Icon According to the Romans, the basic principle of the law is that agreements should be respected under all circumstances. Do you agree with this? Is there a time in your life when you had to break this principle? When someone broke an agreement with you?

Now write a story, poem or create an artwork where characters are forced to break this principle.

[Nienna's forgiveness of Melkor has] always been one of those head-scratchers for me, which I've always chalked up to the ways of the Valar being sometimes difficult to understand. To be nice about it.

Heh heh. "Nice" meaning "I'm biting my tongue and sitting on my hands so as not to reach through the page and shake someone until s/he explains this", I take it.

I'd totally forgotten about the incident until I began combing back through the early parts of the Silmarillion for information on Nienna in November, and this point stood out as in need of being probed for sense.

I love the poetic feel, especially the alliteration near the end.

Thanks! Nienna deserves a little alliteration in her verses. ;-) I'm really glad you like how I've been interpreting her, Dawn. Thanks for commenting!
