hmm..i need to learn how to read more carefully..i was reading over "The History of Galadriel and Celeborn" in Unfinished Tales the other day and came across the part talkin about galadriel's hair saying "...her hair was held a marvel unmatched. It was golden like the hair of her father and of her foremother Indis, but richer and more radient, for its gold was touched by some memory of the starlike silver of her mother; and the Eldar said that the light of the Two Trees, Laurelin and Telperion, had been snared in her tresses." It goes on saying how thrice Fëanor asked of Galadriel a tress, but she didnt give him one hair and how this might of been how the thought of creating the Silmarils came to the mind of Fëanor. Ok, now to the point. In FoTR "Farewell to Lorien" page 367, after Gimli asks Galadriel for a single strand of her hair, it says "The Elves stirred and murmured with astonishment, and Celeborn gazed at the Dwarf in wonder, but the Lady smiled." Now i understand this much better:) has anything similar to this happened to anyone?:D :) ;) :p
