Elves

I'd got a lot of ideas about Tolkien's Elves BUT it is mostly second hand.

Could someone confirm this as in what are the sources that state them

No need to confirm Immortality

BUT

Elves look better than us

immune to sickness and disease

heal from wounds FAR faster than we do

can see in the dark ( I know they can see farther in daylight)

are taller that men ( at least the Noldar)

their songs were " visible"

had better hearing and voices

the Noldar were more physically powerful than men

elves had better grace and dexterity

i know they handled the heat and cold better than us

they did not scar

the noldar had a nimbus about them

silvan elves left no mark of their passing what about sindar and noldar

did all elves possess some kind of "magic" the noldar seemed to.

and thranduil Legolas's dad did

BUT legolas seemed without it BUT he had "SENSES" beyond mortal keen

She was kown as dernhelm because of her exclaimation when she realized that the rider's headgear was heavy and obscured her sight. 'Dern Helm" Culled from Entmoot From Kirinski 57 and Wayfarer.
