The legends aren't gone, in my opinion, the creatures, such as elves and dragons, are in hiding, making us believe that they don;t exist, parhaps to keep from being huted to extinktion, or put up in a cage like a circus animal.

There has never been an "Age of Legends", painful as it is. Life has always been a struggle, in fact we have it easier than ever today, but there have always been tales about a simpler world/life/time, where/when everything is black and white, good and evil, and we KNOW things will work out in the end. Imagination and legends... Why imagine sprites in the woods or knights in armor when you could have aliens in the sky and secret agents on the ground? Only the details have changed...

@R0thu5 Tis beyond true, that. What is truly sad though is that people don't quite seem to believe, even if they know that it is not reality, anymore. My younger sister for example, whenever I start talking about legends, magic, mythical creatures, and particularly Lord of the Rings, she says, "It's just a story." It's as if people are too stuck in reality to see the beauty of imagination. And sadly, those who do have imagination are told that they need to come back to reality.

legends are still here, but the animals have all evolved, creatures like dragons, unicorns have become lizards and horses. Elves are still here, i myself have pointed ears (not amazingly pointed ears but still pointed) and grey eyes, i also use to have pure blonde hair that was almost to the backs of my knees

they are real
if you ask almost any child wether elfs dragons and so on are real they always reply of coarse they are
the legends live on in the mind and the imagination of all that hear the legends and tell those same legends to there children through this the legends and the old ways will never fall

I so wish that legends are real. They are so fascinating.... So sad that they aren't real.

I find it so weird when I read through the comments on this. I don't think most people know that this is about a queen who reigned in the Society for Creative Anachronism and about her declaration that the SCA should be purely historical and not fantasy. I mean, the interpretations are fascinating, but there's a simple and lovely story behind it.

@TaliesinKyte I... Agree. And my last argument was really more of a tangent - agreeing about the idiocy of "Change for the sake of Changing".
And I agree about Romanticism being inspiring - I'm a romantic myself. However, I am a Romantic in the same way that I am a Communist - I hold them both as Ideals, worthy of admiration and lofty goals for inspiration, but hardly something I would intentionally strive for in the present.

@LordSia13 Look...uh...I actually have no idea what your point is anymore, or how this relates.
I think the emotions associated with romanticism can have a positive, inspirational effect on people. I wrote this opinion as a reply to you because your comment seemed to suggest you thought otherwise (at least, I couldn't think of a reason to announce that fantasy isn't real except for an exhortation to set fanciful daydreams aside).
But maybe I assumed too much and we've been misinterpreting.

@TaliesinKyte While change isn't necessarily of the good, neither is stagnation. And sometimes, you need to lose what you have to realise its worth - in which case you change back.
I read some article once, where they argued against the possibility of genengineering humanity into perfection - because if we did, we'd lose the ability to change for the sake of changing. That's circular BS - if something works, don't change it! Unless you think you can make it better, in which case...
-
@LordSia13 You seem to equate change to improvement. I wouldn't go there, personally. There's a bit of a difference between dreaming about an ideal world in the face of all the modern cynicism, and just thinking an iPod wristwatch would make money. A lot of humanity's forward motion isn't in the service of ANY perceived good or ideal. It's just in terms of what makes their individual lives less problematic in the moment. So...again, I don't think romanticism once in a while is a bad thing.
-
@TaliesinKyte People would never *improve* if we *couldn't* dream of something better. It is the struggle to reach that "something" (not to mention the bickering to decide which "something" is better, let alone best) that drives Humanity forward.
There, that's the meaning of Life. Happy?
Where can you download Heather Dale songs? I've looked and looked, but to no avail.
