What a beautiful post, Tirned Tinnu.

I know what you mean. America is too young - in the places where too many people are, anyway. But in the wild places you can feel how ancient the land really is. And I've been to Scotland and Ireland too and other ancient places in Europe and yes, it is completely different.

I always thought that the Elves were once able to communicate with everything but this too was diminishing as their autumn came. Legolas's quote was probably part hearing, part folk memory, and partly the way his sort of earth-ears were particularly turned to laments about things and people that are gone.
