Summary: A Bree pasture


Aragorn hurried toward Bree, but at the edge of a pasture, he paused. A mist hovered over daisies blooming thick upon it, and his imagination was caught by a capricious intersect of sun, fog and flower. How like the ephemeral mists of niphredil blooming on Cerin Amroth was that lowly Bree-land field! His mind chased after his heart and he saw then his hand tucking a fair blossom of Lúthien in the hair of his beloved Evenstar, on a midsummer evening so long ago.

He breathed in a long, slow breath, and in his sigh dwelt loneliness and hope intermingled.

loneliness and hope intermingled is very Aragorn, I think, at this stage in his life.
