J'ecrase ce sujet redondant du point de vue de Gimli !
Appendices A SdA
"Suit une des dernières notes du Livre Rouge.
Il a été dit que Legolas prit Gimli fils de Glóin avec lui en raison de leur grande amitié, la plus grande jamais vue entre elfe et nain. Si c'est vrai, cela est en vérité étrange qu'un Nain quitte la Terre du Milieu par amour [pour un quelconque amour], ou que les Eldar l'accepte, ou que les Seigneurs de l'Ouest le permettent.. Mais il est aussi dit que Gimli est parti pour voir à nouveau la beauté de Galadriel; et il est possible qu'elle, puissante parmi les Eldar, ait obtenu cette grâce pour lui. On ne peut en dire plus sur ce sujet"
Letters 154
But in this story it is supposed that there may be certain rare exceptions or accommodations (legitimately supposed? there always seem to be exceptions); and so certain 'mortals', who have played some great part in Elvish affairs, may pass with the Elves to Elvenhome. Thus Frodo (by the express gift of Arwen) and Bilbo, and eventually Sam (as adumbrated by Frodo); and as a unique exception Gimli the Dwarf, as friend of Legolas and 'servant' of Galadriel.
Letters 325
The 'immortals' who were permitted to leave Middle-earth and seek Aman - the undying lands of Valinor and Eressëa, an island assigned to the Eldar - set sail in ships specially made and hallowed for this voyage, and steered due West towards the ancient site of these lands. [...] As for Frodo or other mortals, they could only dwell in Aman for a limited time - whether brief or long. The Valar had neither the power nor the right to confer 'immortality' upon them. Their sojourn was a 'purgatory', but one of peace and healing and they would eventually pass away (die at their own desire and of free will) to destinations of which the Elves knew nothing.
C'est donc du fait majoritaire de Galadriel que Gimli le nain prends le bateaux aux havres ....
