		Both are written on related topics, and yet "Reapers" is the first poem of the book, and "Harvest Song" the last.
		In "Reapers" a rat is injured by a scythe, and yet "the blade, blooded-stained, continues cutting weeds and shade" oblivious to or uncaring of the rat's injuries and pain.
		I would recommend this book if only for the character of Chikako: both monstrous and tragic, she is one of the most interesting characters you will encounter in literature.

		Goblin-men are only ever identified by name on one occasion - at the Battle of the Hornburg on the night of 3 March III 3019.
		Even then, the term is only ever used by Gamling of Rohan, who would hardly be expected to have a detailed knowledge of Saruman's breeding programmes.

		She led her people to safety at the Battle of the Hornburg (Helm's Deep) and stayed to defend them, but when the Rohirrim were mustered to ride to the aid of Minas Tirith, she disguised herself as a warrior named Dernhelm so as to ride with them.

		Anyway, in the battle several people kill Balrogs, I think one kills five and another three or something like that.
		Both Hildifons and Isengar Took, ancestors of Bilbo I believe, were known as adventurers long before Bilbo ran off with those Dwarves.
		In any case, the Tooks always had a reputation for being more adventurous, even without Gandalf's presence, as in the case of Bandobras ("Bullroarer") Took, so it is possible that Hildifons and his brother Isengar were just being their "Tookish" selves.
