Well, clearly there must be balance and boundaries in all things.

But I am curious Bill as to how you see Tom and Goldberry as 'Gated' and not Lothlorien?

It seems to me that Lothlorien goes way beyond the average [Non-Noldorin] ELvish isolationism, and that like Nargothrond or Gondolin or Doriath, woe to those who tryto enter unbidden.

Though I have always wondered about those docks and boats on the Anduin!
