I may have mentioned this topic before but I want to revive it here. I believe that Bregalad's tale about the birds is the most chilling in the whole trilogy. Something about the way he describes their wanton actions sends a chill up my spine:
'I like birds, even when they chatter; and the rowan has enough and to spare. But the birds became unfriendly and greedy and tore at the trees, and threw the fruit down and did not eat it. Then orcs came with azes and cut down my trees. I came and called them by their long names, but they did not quiver, they did not hear or answer: they lay dead.'
This scene, I think, symbolizes the larger picture of what is going on in a global respect. Probably one of my favorite dialogues in the entire trilogy.
I have no inquiries to make about this bit of commentary but feel free to add your feelings or observations about this topic ...
