Good comments, but I also believe that this was a really significant thing for Gimli, because he really isn't too fond of elves before his visit to the Lady. It's really after this that his bond with Legolas forms, and I believe that this event is what convinces him that elves really do have something going for them (though dwarves, obviously, are physically superior [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]) This is one reason I love Tolkein's work, because there is another level of feeling between love and the worship of a deity. It's lovely!
