It's interesting reading of the mental pictures these books have conjured for some, especially for those who have mental pictures entirely diferent than what Tolkien explained. He always seemed to describe the elves pretty clearly: Legolas and Galadriel had golden blonde hair, Arwen's hair was black, and Cirdan's and Celeborn's hair was silver.<P>I, too, am looking forward to the Balrog, and will admit this was always a dificult one for me to picture in my mind. I also await anxiously the appearance of the Witch King being confronted by Gandalf upon Shadowfax as the gates burst asunder at Minas Tirith: the sight of the flames appearing through an unseen head supporting a crown will be awesome!
