В оригинале это, кажется, это место:
'I thought that I saw a white figure that shone and did not grow dim like the others. Was that Glorfindel then?'
'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. Indeed there is a power in Rivendell to withstand the might of Mordor, for a while: and elsewhere other powers still dwell. There is power, too, of another kind in the Shire. But all such places will soon become islands under siege, if things go on as they are going. The Dark Lord is putting forth all his strength.
Муравьев здесь понес какую-то совершенную отсебятину, по-моему. Но его у меня под рукой нет, так что поручиться не могу. У кого есть Кистямур, приведите цитатку с "преображающимся эльфом"!
