  The emotion and experience of parents' lives is indelible. The physical loss is heart wrenching, however the human psyche holds the memory bank that overpowers our physical presence. In our mind's eye, the presence of our lost parents is just as real, just as vivid, the emotion even more pronounced, even more valued and cherished. There are no physical boundaries that can intervene in the experience of physically loving and safeguarding such precious relationships. This tribute goes way beyond the realms of such deep seated sentiment. In spite of the physical Adieu, their lives continues to be honored and to be an integral part of the lives of their loved ones here on earth. It is one whose significance  should be not only communicated should be not only communicated but most importantly emulated by mankind.An Author's Republic audio production.

  Sir Gawain and the Green Knight:...

  A collection of three medieval English poems, translated by Tolkien for the modern-day reader and containing romance, tragedy, love, sex and honour. 
  Sir Gawain and the Green Knight and Pearl are two poems by an unknown author written in about 1400. Sir Gawain is a romance, a fairy-tale for adults, full of life and colour; but it is also much more than this, being at the same time a powerful moral tale which examines religious and social values. 
  Pearl is apparently an elegy on the death of a child, a poem pervaded with a sense of great personal loss: but, like Gawain it is also a sophisticated and moving debate on much less tangible matters. 
  Sir Orfeo is a slighter romance, belonging to an earlier and different tradition. It was a special favourite of Tolkien’s. 
  The three translations represent the complete rhyme and alliterative schemes of the originals. 
  The collection of these epic poems, steeped in the rich history of Britain, offers a glimpse into the English, Welsh, and Scottish cultures during the period of 1066-1485. The tales, a blend of fantasy and reality, are a testament to the conquests and the Norman influence that shaped the European landscape. 
  For fans of Christopher A. Snyder (Making of Middle-earth), Tom Shippey (The Road to Middle-Earth), Alan Sisto (Why We Love Middle-earth), John Garth (The Worlds of J.R.R. Tolkien), and Walt Whitman (Leaves of Grass).
