Re: About elves and immortality

As to when Elves sail to Valinor, I guess the best answer is "when they are ready". The Silvan Elves especially could be expected to linger quite a while in Middle Earth due to the fact that the sea-longing "sleeps" within them until they look on the Sea or, in the case of Legolas, hear the sound of seagulls. But in the end I think Galadriel was right and the Elves had to depart, or slowly dwindle away.

Those who will defend authority against rebellion must not themselves rebel. </p>
