#non-movie

Our golden boi did not deserve to have his big scene stolen in the movie:

“With his last failing senses Frodo heard cries, and it seemed to him that he saw, beyond the Riders that hesitated on the shore, a shining figure of white light; and behind it ran small shadowy forms waving flames, that flared red in the grey mist that was falling over the world.”

Frodo: ’I thought that I saw a white figure that shone and did not grow dim like the  others. Was that Glorfindel then?’
Gandalf:‘Yes, you saw him for a moment as he is upon the other side: one of the mighty of the Firstborn. He is an Elf-lord of a house of princes…’
