In the chapter "Many Partings", Galadriel says to Treebeard: "Not in Middle-earth, nor until the lands that lie under the wave are lifted up again. Then in the willow-meads of Tasarinan we may meet in the Spring."

I had always assumed that this referred to Beleriand, but it recently occurred to me that it could equally well refer to Numenor. I seem to recall some other mention of the possibility of sunken lands rising again, but I cannot recall where. Do you think this pseudo-prophecy refers to Beleriand or to Numenor?
