A most excellent thread! I agree with everyones assertions here. Contemplating Galadriel-as-Muse, I always think about Frodo and Sam's last stage of their journey to mount doom. In that bleak place, there are so many references to the Lady, and there are also many times her gifts were used to either help them practically, or (in some cases - more importantly) spiritually.
