Hullo Angoriel:

* bows deeply in greeting * A star shines on the hour of our meeting. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

As for the Elves leaving Middle Earth, and Frodo and Sam ... I certainly shared the nostalgia of departing. But this remembrance of the past mingled with the even greater sense of looking forward to satisfying a longing that would finally be fulfilled ... longing for the harbor of home and promised welcome, in a place of richest belonging, where I would need wander no longer. One last journey, then.

Oh, and even now it is possible, you can still catch glimpses of Elves and their legacy here in this Bent World. As well as Hobbits. And even Old Tom Bombadil, if you are very fortunate. It is a matter of seeing, and recognition.

* smokes thoughtfully *

At your Service,

Gandalf the Grey
