Cannot see how Elrond, with his wisdom and experience in multiple realms, could say more clearly that he recognizes the strong element of Eru's will and destiny. He already knows that his task is to facilitate and assist, not to argue or delay or push his favored course of action. He concedes immediately to the council's half-baked take-the-ring-to-the-fire idea. He gives in easily to Merry and Pippin going despite obvious misgiving. Higher powers are hard at work, so get out of the way. | |
