drigel has just left Hobbiton.
Tolkien

I just wanted to throw in my 2 pence on the subject. I fell in love with the Lady of the Wood at the onset and will defend her honor to the death.
For TLOTR, her character was the "purest" of elvendom. And (I think) the best device for JRRT to express the elves story in one character: millenia old, mysterious, sorceress, powerfull, tragic, and whose time has come to an end - wonderfull stuff! She definatelly was the springboard for my further readings.
Lindil, I enjoy your musings and tip my hat to your scholorship!
