Hey. So I think we've been dancing around the 600 lb gorilla in the room long enough.
Is Bilbo the first to call Narsil "The Sword that was broken?" We know Aragorn calls it that as a matter of course, but did Bilbo pick that up from him, or did he start saying that because of Bilbo?
Because if Bilbo indeed is the one who coined that phrase...
....and we accept the fact that the Faramir/Boramir dream is divinely inspired...
...then Bilbo's poetry is being quoted by the MFing Valar. Sorry. Being quoted by the Valar.
Talk about "not very good, perhaps, but to the point." It's good enough for Lorien (or, you know, whomever).
