Yeah, elves are as English as Yorkshire pudding. Check out "Thomas the Rhymer", "Midsummer's Night Dream" or "The Demon Lover".

But then, wasn't it Goethe the German poet who wrote that incredibly scary poem about the man with the dying child being pursued by the Elf King?

Thing is, if Gimli heard any of these poems, he'd have good reason not to want to go to Lothlorien.
