"Andreth, adaneth, the life and love of the Eldar dwells much in memory; and we would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end."

I love the alliteration in that quote.

Heh, I hadn't even consciously noticed the alliteration!
And it's so typical for Elves...
