"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder."<P>*ducks* Sorry, I couldn't resist! But before I have my say, here's a definition of beauty (courtesy Merriam-Webster Online):<P> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>the quality or aggregate of qualities in a person or thing that gives pleasure to the senses<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>Going with the spirit of the thread, I'll take "qualities" to include physical attributes only.<P>That said: Legolas is certainly the more "beautiful." After all, elves are the fairest of Iluvatar's children. I haven't the Silmarillion handy to reference, but I think they were distinguished by the beauty of their appearance.<P>However, it appears we are discussing attractiveness as well. In that case, I'd have to say...I really don't know! Both are quite <I>attractive</I>, and frankly I don't like to dwell on such things for a very long time. Down that way lies superficiality, you see.<P>But this is still fun to think about, and definitely fun to read everyone's response. Come on now, girls! Don't just state your preference; give your reasoning!
