	Ambush by Rauros Falls, Part One (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The jingling of armor and the pounding of heavy boots in the mud is drowned as the party comes near to the mighty falls of Rauros.
		A path leads northward towards Rauros Falls, another heads out onto the plains before disappearing, and a beaten area leads up to the water's edge--apparently this is a sometimes-used fording spot.
		Rain pours down upon his helmet and falls heavly upon his flat pushed in face, but with little care he simply ignores it and almost seems to smile as it wipes away his snot and slobber.

		Blinking slowly turning towards the sound of thundering water, words spilled from his mouth and from whence they came he was not sure.
		Where had he come from, and where indeed was he going, who was he and why had he found himself laying on the ground.
		Though a name rattled around in his head, and the name of a place, a place he believed if he could but un-fog his mind he would find the answers of who he was and where he belonged.

		The first is that the Falls of Rauros weren't at all very big falls, more like the small plumets at most 5 metres high and that the boat didn't fall very far.
		As Wilko185 quoted, the boats were of elven-work and thus survived Rauros Falls without any damage except the fact that it became extremely wet.
		Given the extraordinary properties of elven-rope, it is not impossible that elven-boats could have similar extraordinary properties and thus survive passage of the falls with contents relatively intact.

	[minstrels] Lament for Boromir -- J. R. R. Tolkien
		Beyond the gate the seaward road runs south, But you came not with the wailing gulls from the grey sea's mouth.' From the Gate of Kings the North Wind rides, and past the roaring falls; And clear and cold about the tower its loud horn calls.
		The above poem is a good example of his work: the language is unstrained and natural, the metre and rhyme is never anything less than perfect, the images (especially the striking descriptions of whole landscapes in a few short words) are haunting...
		The poem also has a wonderful unity of structure and composition - the apostrophes to (in turn) the three winds and their respective answers form a natural progression, culminating in the last couplet; the repetition of the phrase 'Rauros, golden Rauros-falls' adds to the poignancy of the lament.

		The possibility of renewal is present with the birthday imagery, but the possibility is perhaps negated by the awkwardness of the transfer of the Ring and by the ominous overtones.
		The fall is the time of ripeness, of maturity, of the ending of things, and Frodo's departure in the fall is already a harbinger of the reverse-quest on which he is engaged.
		Campbell indicates that one feature of the Road of Trials is an alternation between hills and valleys: most prominent in the episode of Caradhras followed by the descent into Moria, this pattern holds throughout the quest.

		The point of view stays with Frodo to the parting of the > Fellowship at the Falls of Rauros.
		However, as I searched for evidence to support that position, I found that Frodo does seem to be the main focus of the narritive until Rauros, if not the only one.
		I can explain my earlier position by stating that from what I just read, Sam _is_ the primary focus _other_ than Frodo in Book II by a fairly wide margin; perhaps I was just remembering that new strong focus and not paying attention to the fact that Frodo remained primary.
