That, of course, should be: 'wouldn't have gone back to M-e'

Turoch: You speak about Carcharoth breaking through the Girdle of Melian with the Silmaril burning inside him. Yet I don't think it was the Silmaril that gave him that power, for earlier in the same story Beren breaks through it as well without a Silmaril. I guess it was faith that drove them, and (though I don't have any quotes now) I think Tolkien used this power more than these two times. Maybe it was because their fates were bound together, and with a Silmaril.

greetings,
