Yet another quote that wasn't

[radagastly]

Okay, one more try. Could this be Legolas, in about the same spot, but about a day and a half later:

"It is old, very old," said the Elf. "So old that almost I feel young again, as I have not felt since I journeyed with you children. It is old and full of memory. --and closer to my heart. I feel ready to go on now-- I could have been happy here if I had come in days of peace."
