Tom the Maia
Why does no one consider Gandalf's words, at the end of LotR...
<blockquote>
Quote:<hr> 'He is a moss-gatherer, whereas I have been a stone doomed to rolling.'<hr></blockquote>
So far, I've not noticed that this point has not even been considered. It's not proof, but it does suggest that there was a bond between the two. Gandalf is a Maia, but one who indeed was doomed to roll, forever working (until the Fourth Age). Does this passage not then hint that the two took diferent paths, but were kindred or at least of the same type in the beginning?
I believe Tolkien thought about this passage carefully before he wrote it.
