Grey Sails at Sunset


For three ages of the world they have been together;
The fourth sees them apart. She passed the test.
She passes into the West, sailing, sailing West.
She is not diminished in his eyes.
Nor will her beauty fade away.
He watches the grey sails.
His time will come.
She will wait.
Love is
Strong.

Gorgeous. My favourite character, too - Galadriel. :)

Well, I wouldn't say she's my *favorite*-- too tall and no hair on her feet-- but she is a character I have come to love and admire very much over the decades.

At any rate, she is half of one of my favorite canon couples, so I enjoyed the chance to write of this moment.

LOL @ 'too tall and no hair on her feet'!
Same here...but the first time I read LoTR she was my favourite, and while over the years I came to love other characters, I came back to Galadriel once I had read The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales. :)
