I found another example of magical, creative singing in FotR - Galadriel sings in 'Farewell to Lórien':
Quote:
I sang of leaves, of leaves of gold, and leaves of gold there grew:
Of wind I sang, a wind there came and in the branches blew.
|
The closing lines are poignant, as if the magic now failed:
Quote:
But if of ships I now should sing, what ship would come to me,
What ship would bear me ever back across so wide a Sea?
