Gandalf is confusing!
Of all the characters in LotR, Gandalf is the one who confuses me the most. Maybe he's just too wise or something, but I don't get this!
1) In the TT: The Road to Isengard, Gandalf stops Legolas from going back into the wood in front of Helm's Deep by saying: "Do not go back into the wood, not yet! Now is not your time." Time for what? Does he think the trees will kill Legolas (not likely, since he's an elf!) or that Legolas wouldn't come back or something? 2) In the Bridge of Khazad-dum Gandalf says he is the wielder of the flame of Anor. Is he talking about his sword or some mystical power of his? Anor means setting sun (Minas Anor = Tower of the Setting Sun, correct?), but that doesn't help me any. Also, does anyone know anything about Gandalf before he fell in with Bilbo? I'm really interested in any pre-Bilbo & Frodo stories. Gandalf was friends with the Old Took, but what did they do together?
