Why Must the Elves Leave Middle-Earth and travel to the Undying Lands? Why did they have such a sadness around them? And what would happen if they chose to ignore this yearning, and instead stayed in Middle-Earth? In this video, we explore all of this and much more in great detail while always using quotes from the Lord of the Rings books as our foundation!

Quotes:
“They wanted the peace and bliss and perfect memory of ‘The West’ and yet to remain on the ordinary earth where their prestige as the highest people, above wild Elves, Dwarves, and Men, was greater than at the bottom of the hierarchy of Valinor”
“Then Eonwe as herald of the Elder King summoned the Elves of Beleriand to depart from Middle earth”
“We learn that the Exiled Elves were, if not commanded, at least sternly counselled to return into the west, and there be at peace”
“ that they will prove less strong to last than they were designed to be”
“You live in Arda marred, as do we, and all the matter of Arda was tainted by him, before ye or we came forth, though this may not be clearly revealed for many years”
“ As ages passed the dominace of their fear (spirits) ever increased, ‘consuming’ their bodies (as has been noted). The end of this process is their ‘fading’, as men have called it; for the body becomes at last, as it were, a mere memory held by the fea”
“for in their early days elf-children delighted still in the world about them, and the fire of their spirit had not consumed them”
“The lingerers, whose bodily forms may no longer be seen by us mortals, or seen only dimly and fitfully”
“For the time comes of the Dominion of Men, and the Elder Kindred shall fade or depart”
“The love of the Elves for their land and their works is deeper than the deeps of the Sea, and their regret is undying and cannot ever wholly be assuaged.”
: “To me the difference seems like that between one who visits a strange country, and abides there a while (but need not), and one who has lived in that land always (and must). To the former all things that he sees are new and strange, and in that degree lovable. To the other all things are familiar, the only things that are his own, and in that degree precious”
