                 [Gildor and the Wandering Elves (Max Carr)] Moldvay wrote that elves love 'frolicking in wooded glades.' Some, Tolkien says, 'lingered in the twilight of our Sun and Moon. Others lived ages in the 'Faerie' West and grew 'fairer and wiser and more learned'. Here are elvish songs and magic items, and some elves I've lately met. *** The songs of elves are filled with nightwalks, stars, and memories of beauty. Gildor and the wandering elves sang of Elbereth the Starkindle r: Gilthoniel! O Elbereth!         Clear are thy eyes and bright thy breath! Snow-white! Snow-white! We sing to thee          In a far land beyond the Sea. Be side the river Nimrodel, the wood-elf Legolas sang 'in a soft voice hardly to be heard amid the rustle of the leaves.' Where now she wanders none can tell,        In sunlight or in shade; For lost of yore was Nimrodel        And in the mountains strayed. *** Norman's Old School Essen
