i don't know if i could feel much sadder today without an actual reason. ::mope::

i think mostly i'm sad because i'm not currently engaged in my second viewing. ::mope::

i have cleaned the kitchen today though and, you know, that's uh.. something.

tolkien always does that to me, too. awed melancholy is a good term for it, i think. part of the unfulfilledness, for me, always seems to come from the pervasive sense of that-which-has-passed-away. i always leave a reading or a viewing just longing to be in that world. even the battles have the ineffable sweetness of legend... i don't know. maybe camillafarfalla's latest icon quote says it best.

my favorite lit prof always said that the myth of the golden age is both the oldest and the most melancholy trope. i agree.

but yeah. i hear you on the inexplicable sadness. hang in there! :::hugs:::

i never actually responded to this comment, did i?

maybe because what you say here is so absolutely perfect it requires no comment.
