book of lost tales, part 2, the history of eriol_ woodland athelas

October 14, 2011
finishing the first to undertake the work of Christopher Tolkien to express my sincere respect and deep sympathy. .
Second, do not surprised to see this title I do not jilt “ah? you actually look at this!” look – I admit I e never said that like his Nakasu like daycare. .
choose to do this from Eriol is neither meaningless nor comment on non-translation analysis of thankless work, in fact, the most fundamental reason is that he appears in the Book of Lost Tales of the final chapter … This I borrowed the book to Part 2, slightly turn the two realized that I actually have no patience and no ability to read it (I sorry we poor English = =). So I decided to just read a chapter on the decisive crude Idle. Began to see the directory, there are some other ways from the Silmarillion and have a rough idea about, unless it is holding or the purpose of comparison is the last chapter of The History of Eriol or AElfwine and the End of the Tales (AElfwine the first letter of the fact is that AE fit, do not ask me that is valid), I do not remember reading in the past the poor are so few in the Chinese edition appeared this man, so have the “first and foremost is the addition of new material,” the decision to challenge the mentality, coupled with “the end of the tales” more attractive, I have been curious to think “as the British to create a myth” as the motive of writing the final plan daycare how to connect these two worlds. Another kind of “final”, the “doomsday” feeling is really more for my appetite – and decided to look at this. Proved to be picked up – I really like Eriol this line. First, because that “son of Earendil” legend, and second, because he is a Golden Book of the (possible) author, and the entire history of the last witness. I think the fact that information was first re-introduction into the lyrical state better. First of it, the man real name is called Ottor, but like claiming to be Wafre (take a last mention, I do not come out to play =), which is Old English for restless, wandering mean. A lifetime journey, because he was born under the stars in the Elamite Deere who is “a son of Earendel” – in The Tales of Earendel chapter mentioned, if a beam from Earendel fall on a child newborn he become ” a son of Earendel “and a wanderer such a legend feels especially good, not the blood of his father, but it is a blessing has been watching you with your people, is more important than blood spiritual father. However, in the Silmarillion is not mentioned as if, in addition to Eriol did not know there is no other than the son of Earendel up. Closer to home, the Wafre soon be longing for the ocean grab were, predestined sea-longing, although the senior citizen not mentioned, but almost imagine his childhood and youth is a kind of dedication in the ocean. Later in the death of his wife Cwen, two children have grown up after Hengest and Horse, Ottor has chosen alone the sea. Although this time, the two children has given his grandfather Eoh (Old English in the “horse”) avenged. Although not clear what the intention, but the senior citizen does specifically mention too, Ottor father Eoh is Beorn killed his brother and his two sons to take the name is given to them to avenge his grandfather. The two young men was also a great leader of the local, which will be used later. Eriol voyage was not without purpose – although I would imagine his initial voyage just wandering without direction, but free, simply for navigation and sailing. Impression that this is more in line with a “son of Elam Deere” status. The first thought that daycare wrote The Happy Mariners, huh, huh. But who knows, only that his last senior citizen is to find the legendary lost island of Tol Eressea, and it should be that Erik West, the group of homesick posts Lerui have a place to live, where you can could see Nakasu the stars. He looking for at least shows itself in his era, who still has not buried the ancient legend of it. We do not know what that era, but later referred to as Anglo, but also the end of the myth and the reality of the beginning of time, should not be too far away from us. Then more incredible is that, Eriol actually arrives, the Erik West – but look at Amen Island Silmarillion should have increased by fishes you? While here, very sorry, I still would like to quote Silmarillion in a long paragraph:
in exile, many people believe, “Pillar of Heaven” 米涅尔塔玛 mountain peak not completely submerged, it is still erect in the waves, and had become a remote island on the sea; because it is a holy place has been called, got the upper hand even in the days of Solon, it is not been any than tarnished. Erin has been Deere descendants in the future to find it, because, according to knowledgeable guru said, keen eyes of ancient people can die from 米涅尔塔玛 glimpse of the mountain land of subtle shimmer. Even if everything is destroyed, Dengdan people knowing the world has changed, their hearts are still towards the West, they said: “Yafolongni has disappeared from the earth, Amen Island has been moved away, at this dark world where they are not found, but they have existed in this world, so they will also, true and complete as at first the world had just been made a good appearance. “Dengdan believe, even if mortals will die, if there good fortune, you can look forward to in life, after a time to see it. They are always eager to escape the shadow of their exile, and saw that in some way eternal light; for thought and sorrow aroused by death, still catching up from the depths of the sea with them. Therefore, they were great sailors who will continue on in the vast sea search, hoping to board the 米涅尔塔玛 Hill, and from there saw things in the past it had been the scene there. But they have not found. Sailing to the farthest place that people only came to the new continent, and found that everything related to the old continent, as death still exists. Those who continues to sail west, and finally found them in a circle around the earth, physically and mentally fatigued to return to their initial starting place. So they said: “All the fairways are now bent up.” Therefore, relying on navigation and viewing the future of learning, the human king to know the world really is round; But the only Yi Erda, if they wish, still were allowed to leave this land to the west and Yafolongni ancient. Therefore, the learned master of mankind that there must be a “straight path”, and only those who still kept to allow people to find it. They teach that when you set foot on this road, this new world was far left foot piece of old memory to the West waterways continue to move forward, as if an invisible bridge can accommodate flying across the the sky (because the world is bent, so the flying path is bent), and then through the body footer who can not resist the need to protect the otherwise cold Ilmen, and finally to “The Lonely Island” Erik West, or even more Valinor far, the public Vera still living in the area, watching the story of the world to start one by one in their eyes. So all sorts of stories and legends passed along in the sea, those discussed wandered lonely sailor on the sea or the people, because of luck or because of Villa favor, embarked on a straight path, to see the whole world in their front of sink, and then came all the way to bright light Yafolongni pier, or the last really arrived at Amen Island coast, where they died, to pay tribute to the beautiful and awesome tall white mountains.
This is the Silmarillion which is one of my favorite passages of. In fact, the translation Silmarillion skill I think it is very good. I think there “sailor man” should not have exceptions. The most likely explanation is that, early daycare center in the idea of ??Eriol stories, not the idea behind the Wa Linnuo rise to a “separate world” plot it – it really is a very traditional “god-man separation” mode yet. Of course, in the latter part of a book of complete world view Silmarillion below, Eriol no way the story started, do not know how the plan for senior citizen myself. But since he needs a connection point to the two world should not give up this character right.
the middle of the conflict either before, on the assumption he was alive Villa who arrived 达伊瑞西亚 extrajudicial mercy Well, Eriol is the name of his island, called Wizard. Indeed they seem to rename the practice ah. Interestingly, the material left in the daycare where the character appears, always use Eriol the name, but rather become his real name no one mentioned – perhaps in addition to his third son – of course If the latter is an interesting point. In fact, I have to say this is what the so-called dominant culture … …
and the few words I am not cool to see a … … senior citizen and wrote, in the middle of the elves: Eriol adopted the name of Angol. – shaking. . Senior citizen care what you are referring Angles. .
then the next paragraph:
Thus it is that through Eriol and his sons the Engle (iethe English) have the true tradition of the fairies, of whom the Iras and the Wealas (the Irish and Welsh) tell garbles things.
– I calm I calm. . After all, a good start to your plan is what more do . . Therefore, a more calm and dear Christopher summarized in one sentence: Thus a specifically English fairy-lore is born, and one more true than anything to be found in Celtic lands.
Is so … so … I think this whole story daycare center will not easily give up … …
back Eriol personal history, anyway he was Erik West do not know how long after a happy day, what is No one knows how long, where the time anyway, this aging slower than Nakasu – of course he can not stay long to more than two sons in the life of Nakasu. Anyway, Erik West is not what the good life of peace events, but also what poetry, The History of Eriol which would receive a one Eriol Song. Main experience is wizard told him Yiluweita the creation myth, and legend songs, and he also put them one by one record – the last merged into that of the (legendary) Golden Book of the first half of the – - for senior citizen, it should be the Silmarillion (Silmarillion) predecessor, estimated that he wanted to start with Eriol describes the tone of the first century of myth about it. Later he and a wizard named Naimi married woman, had a son called Heorrenda, is mentioned before his third child. In one version, he is also the finalization of the Golden Book was probably the ultimate author. But his story does not end in Erik West. Daycare writes Eriol arrival, and that he “sojourns in the house of a hundred chimneys-for this is the last condition of his drinking limpe (e ~ there are two points not playing)” Please allow me to ignore in this that strange house, with emphasis that he did drink something called limpe and become young again because of it. On this, in fact, is the elves were the first he does not want to drink this rejuvenation medicine:
Turinqi only may give it to those not of the Eldar race, and those that drink must dwell always with the Eldar of the Island until such time as they fare forth to find the lost families of the kindred.
then Meril-i-Turinqi also gave him this prophecy:
If you drink this drink … even at the Faring Forth, should Eldar and Men fall into war at the last, still must you stand against the children of your kith and kin, but until then never may you fare away home though longings gnaw you … (sorry, can not think who to Meril – and these people (fine?) English Translation of my name is already not on the number of full …) and the descendants of an enemy. This is his two sons to stay in Nakasu human “use” me, but fortunately now leaving only the framework of a story.
Also need to mention in passing that, although the end of Silmarillion is clear that the “Ai Erda Wizard of stories and songs are also the ending,” but it said “curtain” is based on Elrond marked by the West to go – but in fact when the fact that there are a large number of (not so important) Wizard stranded on the mainland, to say the least, at least Mirkwood Silvan joy inside the group will not go so easily it. In Lost Tales which is true, in a period of Eriol stranded Erik West, Nakasu did not leave there (do not want to leave it) of the wizard, this time Melko and back, with the remnants of the Orcs (hell how well) and believe in his northern barbarian to the elves to war – and in these “savages,” the leader of Eriol is the two sons. When the news of war reached Erik West, the island elves will go back to help their fellow citizens, and persuaded Poseidon Ulmo pull the whole Erik West to east across the ocean, and finally stopped in Europe now edge – and then I did not realize at the time, once again points to a small C on the truth: Tol Eressea was now in the geographical position of England = = then the island with the elves, including Eriol return on investment Nakasu war, which confirms the Meril to his prediction, he will stand against the children of your kith and kin
final elves failed. Many a mess during the campaign I was omitted. They return to the now visible on the map Erik West, in the final battle – Battle of the High Heath – after. But those evil men – naturally including Eriol two sons, but he has been unable to change anything at this time – and also into the Erik West and, finally, Eriol three sons conquered the island, established in England. – More interesting here is Eriol son Heorrenda half-elves chose not only the fate of mankind, but also the final stop to the human side, and the wizard enemies. Of course, later said that a senior citizen, the three leaders of the wizard, or a friendly attitude, although this premise is wizard it is already fading. In short, the history of this nation be true to the myth of a traditional British bar.
But in any event the final feeling very sad, but it is also the replacement of old and new world to establish the myth of the final narrative. Elves gradually “disappear”, but in fact there, but in the eyes become visible. Already fade the Elves in sorrow and the Faring Forth has come to ruin, and Iluvatar knoweth alone if ever now the Trees shall be relit while the world may last like this, an era is finally over.
Eriol is the story of that line. Finally, the wizard defeat, he is also “flees with fading Elves from Battle of the High Health (Ladwen-na-Dhaideloth) and crosses the Gruir and the Afros.” (Please ignore proper nouns automatically =) his last days in Tavrobel spent, where, “his last days is cosumed with longing for the black cliffs of his shores”, but he finally could not go back. There is a version that is Tavrobel he completed his book. In fact, I prefer this view.
Well, now we turn our attention to this belongs to an unknown (abandoned) on the manuscript, which is I am more concerned about. In fact, this should be very glad when I was a linguist and not daycare ancient philologist. In the Golden Book Author Who is this issue, senior citizen had given two arguments: first, a postscript in his, he clearly wrote:
The last words of the book of Tales. Written by Eriol at Tavrobel before he sealed the book. It seems clear that the book should be completed. However, another senior citizen gives the Golden Book title page: The Golden Book of Heorrenda being the book of the Tales of Tavrobel Heorrenda of Hagwudu book was signed Heorrenda of Hagwudu (that took a hit I do not come out, And I do not know Hagwudu is Gesha = =) that Eriol book should only be completed Tales of Tavrobel, where the only sounds were from the Wizard of myths and legends, not including later he witnessed the war. The same file and there are some Heorrenda preamble: This book have I written using those writtings that my father Wafre (whom the Gnomes named after the regions of his home Angol) did make in his sojourn in the holy isle in the days of the Elves ; and much else have I added of those things which his eyes saw not afterward; yet are such things not yet to tell. Note that Heorrenda adhere Wafre instead of Eriol call his father, with his choice of human destiny, and in the last behalf of the war against the human side and the elves, I really want to know what his identity is how the formation.
So according to this version, Eriol record on only his experience in the wizard, where the first record and heard the second century of myths, legends, then it should not exceed the Silmarillion content, if the senior citizen of this is intended to go, then according to this write, it should be similar to an earlier version of the Silmarillion – is now generally believed. Then his son Heorrenda part of the supplement, including the last field will be sad war, and the wizard escape, have withered. In this way, so that as the son of Earendel destined for a lifetime wandering, lost and even promised to enter the island Tol Eressea, and was solemnly predicted that the enemy with their children and grandchildren who did not actually witness the final ending of all this – this This really is a bit of a waste of people do.
However, it appears their is tangled daycare, so he notes there is such a:
Eriol ends his life at Tavrobel but in his last days is cosumed with longing for the black cliffs of his shores, even as Meril said.
The book lay untouched in the house of Gilfanon during many ages of Men.
The compiler of the Golden Book takes up the Tale: one of the children of the fathers of the fathers of Men.
– I admit this one did not understand, of the fathers is not the heavy one? But at least it says “compiler” is certainly not Heorrenda, because according to the above perspective, the time living in Heorrenda book should still unknown. Then the key is the following one, it is obvious to consider another daycare own set – It may perhaps be much better to let Eriol himself see the last things and finish the book.
– I really want to give this a bold display ah! So agreed!
I actually like the previously mentioned The last words of the book of Tales.Written by Eriol at Tavrobel before he sealed the book. such a feeling, a sudden thought of Hesse last time, the day when he walks off to the dead branches on the table, and wrote a poem last a lifetime, “there is a summer and a long winter,” and then in the night, passed away – always felt that scene, will be the same light.
In addition, Eriol the figures in daycare full publication did not appear in, Silmarillion which did not – well I know that only talked about the third century of his treasure there can be no drill existence. But because this person works in a book are not mentioned, the total was a bit suspect that Will is just a daycare later abandoned the idea. But I think this man and his perspective is very important, after all, the original motivation for senior citizen writing to the English-speaking world is a myth, then the myth is very important to the final curtain. He must write a sufficient commitment to the “Old World – New World,” the turning point of the event. The myth of the world last end so that it can be opened to the real world, only the Silmarillion mentioned Wa Linnuo the rise is not enough, not only because there are that many Nakasu after the wizard needs an explanation, but also because of their cultural Turkey still remain in the earth, today we are also in the lack of a proper break, it needs to be re-covered again. In fact, as myth is concerned, the old history, the old end of the world it best to have a “big conflict” event. This final curtain call, should not need a witness.
The Golden Book of the myth of the first part of the century, and later as senior citizen wrote Silmarillion, there is no rewrite necessary – believe senior citizen point of view is not like playing games. Such a real person. So we should Eriol related stories written in the official notes from the fragmented story, unless he plans on showing a complete story Faring Forth and later (that is a big project), and make it to participate in the history of Eriol write down memories of view – and if Eriol was only introduced because of this reason, then this (the legendary) Golden Book should be written by him – not that he wrote the first part and then by his son Heorrenda or anybody else to do, but he completed all of the testimony alone, and records. (Suddenly thought, if there were two people with Eriol and Heorrenda narrative perspective that history, it will be very interesting – but it is not a daycare center would do the things) I would like to be in the entire history of play that much in the Eriol role in the “enemy with the children and grandchildren,” this point he is powerless. He is to such a “powerless” there is a sense of the tragedy of it, as a spectator, as a historical witness to the inevitable decline of the last witness, and then fall in a thick manuscript on his last the sum.
