Posts: 368</TD><TD></TD></TR></TABLE> the package has arrived! Great work Tar Elenion. Lots of thoughts - so I will only put down a couple. Galadriel and Celeborn as first cousins [in a late conception albeit] !!! Have you come across any reference that JRRT saw this disparity between this conception and the other statements re: first cousins? I recently read a very late letter [347] 1972, which reconciles at least part of the Celeborn problem. <blockquote>Quote:<hr> "...though said to be a kinsman of King elu Thingol he was so only afar off, for he too came from Valinor."<hr></blockquote> Tar Elenion writes: <blockquote>Quote:<hr> "the Eldar did not wed with kin that close (Sil.)) and not in keeping with LotR or RGEO."<hr></blockquote> At the risk of [further] unveiling my ignorance-what is "RGEO" ? BTW as we have a large # of 'viewrs' who are not 'posters' here on the 'Silm. Theories discussion forum', I formally encourage all who have an urge to post , to do so on this and all other threads not directly involving editorial decisions of the Silm project. To get involved more formally w/ the Silmarillion project , I recommend an email to Mithadan,Durelen,Gwaihir or myself at this point and [very importantly] a thorough reading of all of the posts above the long string of Locked threads. Lindil is often found on posting on the Silmarillion Project at the Barrowowns<u> Silmarillion canon , theories and discussion Forum </u> 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>Edited by: <A HREF=http://www.barrowdowns.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_profile&u=00000076>lindil</A> at: 2/4/01 5:53:18 am
