“I will soar higher than the walls of Akros! Higher than the clouds! Higher than Heliod himself!”

‘And you, Ring-bearer,’ she said, turning to Frodo. 'I come to you last who are not last in my thoughts. For you I have prepared this.’ She held up a small crystal phial: it glittered as she moved it, and rays of white light sprang from her hand. 'In this phial,’ she said, 'is caught the light of Eärendil’s star, set amid the waters of my fountain. It will shine still brighter when night is about you. May it be a light to you in dark places, when all other lights go out. Remember Galadriel and her Mirror! ’
Frodo took the phial, and for a moment as it shone between them, he saw her again standing like a queen, great and beautiful, but no longer terrible. He bowed, but found no words to say.
–J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, “Farewell to Lórien”
