But Feanor spoke then, and cried bitterly: 'For less even as for the greater there is some deed that he may accomplish but once only; and in that deed his heart shall rest. It may be that I can unlock my jewels, but never again shall I make their like; and if I must break them, I shall break my heart, and I shall be slain; first of all the Eldar in Aman.'
'Not the first,' said Mandos, but they did not understand his word; and again there was silence, while Feanor brooded in the dark. It seemed to him that he was beset in a ring of enemies, and the words of Melkor returned to him, saying that the Silmarils were not safe, if the Valar would possess them. 'And is he not Vala as are they,' said his thought, 'and does he not understand their hearts? Yea, a thief shall reveal thieves!' Then he cried aloud: 'This things I will not do of free will. But if the Valar will constrain me, then shall I know indeed that Melkor is of their kindred.'
'Your quest is known to us,' said Galadriel, looking at Frodo. 'But we will not here speak of it more openly. Yet not in van will it prove, maybe, that you came to this seeking aid, as Gandalf himself plainly purposed. For the Lord of the Galadhrim is accounted the wisest of the Elves of Middle-Earth, and a giver of gifts beyond the power of kings. He has dwelt in the West since the days of dawn, and I have dwelt with him years uncounted; for ere the fall of Norgothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through the ages of the world we have fought the long defeat.'
So Galadriel said that Celeborn was said to be the wisest of the elves in Arda...though in truth to us, she herself, is the wisest...She also was with Celeborn throughout everything that has made him the title of "wisest elf in Middle-Earth".
This passage also speaks of those who "fought the long defeat".
Galadriel - ever so amazes me...

Really? Well, it's not at all original. I'm not surprised. 😉However, I did like your quote from earlier,
"Go not to the elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes."
It is one of my favourites.
Yeah - which takes us back to Galadriel because she says "I will not give you counsel, saying do this, do that."

May we discuss THIS one?
