In HoME 10 [ the most imortant of the HoME books imo] Morgoth's Ring. We are treated to the 'Athrabeth Finrod ha Andreth' a 30 or so page discussion between Finrod and a mortal 'wise woman' who had been i love w/ one of Finrod's brothers. The discussion center's entirely around the 'gift of Men' and the Human and Elvish understanding of it. I can not praise it enough so i won't try.

But I encourage anyone who doesn't have them to get 10-12 in HB while they are still out as you will read and read them many times over.
