Ooh, this comes so close. But I am not Minas Tirith, and neither Elendil nor Isildur are my father.
Actually, between this and Pervinca's "personifications" comment, I'm happy to confirm that there are no actual

You give me too much credit. "Grim" is just a descriptive word, no hidden meanings.
(Now you've got me trying to translate "grim face" into Quenya...
