Re: beards
Meneldil:
VT 41 bottom of page 9.
------------------------------
Quothe Mithadan:
BTW, the references to Elven aging were in Morgoth's Ring if I recall (categorizing the three phases may be my interpretation based upon the description rather than words used by JRRT) and I thus incorporated it into Cirdan's discussion with Ælfwine in Conversations in Avallónë. Sorry but I don't have HoME 10 with me to provide a cite (and I hope its not actually HoME 12).
-------------------------------------
When you get a chance perhaps you might post some quotes from the source you are thinking of and comparing them to the VT quote. I find the reference to the '3 cycles' much more intriguing than the reference to beards. It would be interesting to know if JRRT wrote more on this that has yet to be published.
