in the back of my copy of <u>Out of the Silent Planet</u> there is Tolkien's commentary, I find it quite interesting

Merendis Mthe Mmariner's Mwife
Riding one day in the forest of the Westlands he saw a woman, whose dark hair flowed in the wind, and about her was a green cloak...and he knew her for Erendis...then suddenly he knew in himself the love that he bore her, and he felt the emptiness of his days.
