A Latent Desire?

[Eruanna]

Or perhaps one ought to say Light, in the context that I am thinking of. Basically, I'm seeing a connection between the Holy Light of the Lamps, Trees, Stars, and Sun and Moon and the inspiring Fire of Narya

Good point Formendacil. There are many instances in 'The Hobbit' when Gandalf uses or makes light; after killing the Great Goblin and during the Battle of the Five Armies spring to mind. Also, in Moria and the rescue of Faramir from the Nazgul in LotR.

'...he raised his hand, and from it a shaft of white light stabbed upwards...'

Narya? Or Gandalf's staff? Or does the staff merely 'amplify' the ring?
