Legolas et la Lórien

[Laegalad]

Quant à savoir si Legolas est déjà allé en Lórien, la réponse est (très) probablement: non Quand, après la Moria, le reste de la Communauté arrive aux bords des Bois d'Or, Legolas s'exclame (LotR B2C8 ) :

`There lie the woods of Lothlórien! ' said Legolas. `That is the fairest of all the dwellings of my people. There are no trees like the trees of that land. For in the autumn their leaves fall not, but turn to gold. Not till the spring comes and the new green opens do they fall, and then the boughs are laden with yellow flowers; and the floor of the wood is golden, and golden is the roof, and its pillars are of silver, for the bark of the trees is smooth and grey. So still our songs in Mirkwood say. My heart would be glad if I were beneath the eaves of that wood, and it were springtime! '

(je souligne) : il s'en reporte aux chants de Mirkwood.
Un peu plus loin, quand Gimli met en doute le fait qu'il y ai encore des Elfes dans ses Bois :

'It is long since any of my own folk journeyed hither back to the land whence we wandered in ages long ago,' said Legolas, 'but we hear that Lórien is not yet deserted, for there is a secret power here that holds evil from the land. Nevertheless its folk are seldom seen, and maybe they dwell now deep in the woods and far from the northern border.'

C'est encore plus explicite : il y a des rumeurs et des on-dit, mais Legolas n'y a jamais été. En conséquence, il n'a jamais eu l'occasion de recevoir un arc des mains de Galadriel
