Discussing: Treebeard and Galadriel
Re: Treebeard and Galadriel
Do you mean the meeting at Isengard when the Hobbits and Arwen's wedding party are returning to the Shire?
Then Treebeard said farewell to each of them in turn, and he bowed three times slowly and with great reverence to Celeborn and Galadriel. 'It is long, long since we met by stock or by stone, A vanimar, vanimálion nostari!' he said. 'It is sad that we should meet only thus at the ending. For the world is changing: I feel it in the water, I feel it in the earth, and I smell it in the air. I do not think we shall meet again.'
And Celeborn said: 'I do not know, Eldest.' But Galadriel said: 'Not in Middle-earth, nor until the lands that lie under the wave are lifted up again. Then in the willow-meads of Tasarinan we may meet in the Spring. Farewell!'

Or do you mean another meeting? (In which case I will do more digging for you!)

Re: Treebeard and Galadriel
Hi Liz!
Yup! That's what I was looking for. I knew I had read it somewhere, but I couldn't remember where. I was wondering where Galadriel said they would meet again. And if its Tasarinan, then they're bound to meet after the World is remade and the Silmarillions got out and Feanor returned etc. I was planning to shape this statement as an epilogue to my story. Anyway, can you check whether there is any account of this meeting in the HoME? I don't have the books with me, and if there is no such description, I can make things go just the way I want.
Thanks a lot!

Isn't that frustrating? (Especially when you're convinced it's in a different text to the one it's actually in, so you get cross when you can't find it...)

I've done a search on Treebeard and not come up with anything. However, that's a part of the legendarium that I'm not very familiar with, so I can't promise I didn't miss something.

Ah, but even if there is, HoMe is "not canon" (i.e. published in Tolkien's lifetime), so you could argue that you can ignore it and do your own thing....
