Quote Game - Part 10

[Midge]

"You can learn much of them. They are a fair folk and wonderful,
and they have a power over the hearts of Men.
And yet I think sometimes that it might
have been better if we had never met them,
but had willed it lowlier ways.
For already they are ancient in knowledge;
and they are proud and enduring.
In their light we are dimmed, or we burn with too quick a flame,
and the weight of our doom lies the heavier on us."

Kind of a cross-post with Princess, I guess.
