I can't believe I never noticed this
<font face="Verdana"><table><TR><TD><FONT SIZE="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">Wight
Posts: 220</TD><TD></TD></TR></TABLE> I have read the Silm , more than a few times , but this passge finally came to my attention . It is not exactly a qoute but it is attributable, to whom? "...whose power is at rest,whose joy is as an air that they breathe all their days,whose thought flows in a tide untroubled from the heights to the deeps". 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' Lindil is often found on posting on the Silmarillion Canon Forum at the Barrowdowns discussion board. </p>

Posts: 352 Quote:
But the attributes you quote are applied to one of the Maiar, to whom Thingol is merely compared PS Why did you reveal your own secret in another post? PPS Anyways, thanks. I reread half a Silm last night in search of an answer. It was great as usual (going to go on tonight) ...less doth yearning trouble him who knoweth many songs, or with his hands can touch the harp - his possesion is his gift of glee which God gave him...

Posts: 309</TD><TD></TD></TR></TABLE> Sorry I revealed it the other post because I thought it was so beautiful , i didn't care! as for the attributes being of the Maiar, yes it is true , but the tale is saying that Thingol had [due in large part to his union w. a maia] attained this state [for a while!]. Ask on. Lindil is often found on posting on the New Silmarillion Canon Forum at the Barrowdowns discussion board. 'The dwindling Men of the West would often sit up late into the night, and awaken early before dawn- exchanging lore and wisdom such as they possessed , so that they should not fall back into the mean and low estate of those , who never knew or more sadly still, had indeed rebelled against the Light.' </p>

Posts: 555 I'll take a risk of being thought pedantic, but I insist on being given his proper name according to the period when the attribute was applied to him (Gandalf is a given name of far more later period)
