I hope that she has managed to embrace fully the estel for which her love was named, looking forward to what is to come--the new life, the new purpose.

Who knows? That is the one thing we cannot tell...

"..she came to comprehend the choice of Elros" I don't think I've ever truly understood it before, but this makes perfect sense, as does Arwen's reason for falling in love with Aragorn. Very thoughtful vignette, and beautifully written. Thank you for this.

Thanks for your review. I have often been wondering about the psychology of the elves and of Arwen in particular.

Men, on the other hand, seemed so much at home in their little islands of time. here was someone whose life truly mattered. And thus her heart had chosen him, to share in a life that had meaning and weight. He had been her anchor in time This is beautifully written. I've never read a better explanation of the true, innate difference between Men and Elves.

Thanks for your review. Once you try to imagine true immortality, it does appear rather intimidating.
