Perhaps you will be reembodied, perhaps not. But it does not matter to the you speaking with me now. We will never see Arda again.
And because we will never see Arda again, because the things we create here may well outlast us, because Men squabble here and now over what our kin the Elvhen left behind, three thousand years later, I asked for an accounting of what you made should you leave us.
I packed Galadriel's clothes and some of her writings in a cedar chest when she departed; I burned what did not fit lest they fall into unworthy hands. I have done this thing six times for those dear to me. I have arranged to have it done should I not be found in my bed tomorrow morning or the morning a month hence. If you mistake my preparedness for greed you forget the lesson you yourself taught my lord king and all his court.
