A wise man once said 'The world is indeed full of peril, and in it there are many dark places; but still there is much that is fair, and though in all lands love is now mingled with grief, it grows perhaps the greater'. My people call history the Long Defeat, for we know we can beat the Shadow back but temporarily. And yet, we do not despair, for we love well the lands of Middle-earth in all its moods, and we count our time in her defence and betterment well spent, e'en if it fades eventually.
I have heard it named so! [ Maglor laughs ] But to us it is Art, for we are only asking the world to move to the shapes that it already knows, just... a little out of its normal order.
