GW....the quotes were all from HoME concerning the reincarnation as well as the appearance of Glorfindel in Gondolin and later in LOTR....
it partly discusses wether or not Glorfindel of LOTR and Gondolin were identical, therefore tying in with the reincarnation question....
but as to the original question of the thread, Aiwendil beautifully summed up what i tried to show in the quotes, just beat me to the punch [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
