Gwathy - it is getting late for me here but I will be thinking about this ...don't forget the reference to the stars being clearer over Rivendell - and that Earendil is Elrond's dad . Galadriel captures the light of Earendil but in water and her realm is protected by water - and is where time "holds still" - thought I think the mortals also find it hard to keep time in Rivendell. Understanding - well Gandalf yes but he also as a maia connected to Olorin inspires great deads and has the association with dreams - possibly inspiring Faramir's dream?

Sorry this is very stream of consciousness but I really should go home now!!!
