Arwen Quotes
//From the Books
- The Fellowship of the Ring
"... and there sat a lady fair to look upon, and so like was she in
form of womanhood to Elrond that Frodo guessed that she was one of his close
kindred Young she was and yet not so. The braids of her dark hair were touched
by no frost; her white arms and clear face were flawless and smooth, and the
light of stars was in her bright eyes, grey as a cloudless night; yet queenly
she looked, and thought and knowledge were in her glance, as of one who has
known many things that the years bring." - Many Meetings
"So it was that Frodo saw her whom few mortals had yet seen; Arwen, daughter of Elrond, in whom it was said that the likeness of Luthien had come on earth again; and she was called Undomiel, for she was the Evenstar of her people." - Many Meetings
"Such loveliness in living thing Frodo had never seen before nor imagined in his mind;..." - Many Meetings
"Near him sat the Lady Arwen. To his surprise Frodo saw that Aragorn stood beside her; his dark cloak was thrown back, and he seemed to be clad in elven-mail, and a star shone on his breast. They spoke together, and then suddenly it seemed to Frodo that Arwen turned towards him, and the light of her eyes fell on him from afar and pierced his heart." - Many Meetings
More to come when I finish reading "The Return of the King" :)
