But I simply can't find the stylistic discrepancy you refer to. In Elrond's speech can be found all the same sorts of devices and patterns of phrasing used by the Gondorians.
By the way, since people claimed the style of description in the latter books was also designed to give a sense of antiquity to the environment then the descriptions in Rivendell and Lorien should be likewise.
Sorry but I missed all the Lo’s and Behold’s in the speechs in Rivendell.
