Did Glorfindel (explicitly) leave ME.
Did Glorfindel (explicitly) leave ME.
I think he RODE to the Havens, yet does it say he left?

I don't have my books with me here in Thailand, so I can't check myself. I was reading something MM wrote and he mentioned that it is never said Glorfindel left ME. So, I was trying to glean some info.

Checked the book: Gildor and "many fair Elven folk" rode to the havens with Elrond and Galadriel, but I don't see Glorfindel mentioned there specifically, just that "With them went many Elves of the High Kindred who would no longer stay in Middle-earth." "Many," not "all." In the Appendix, it's also said that Celeborn moved to Rivendell not long after Galadriel left and lived with the sons of Elrond for a while before departing Middle-earth, but again no mention of Glorfindel.

I couldn't find it, but I remeber a text that said when Celeboren left Middle-Earth, that with him the last living memory of the Elder days left. If that is true (and in such things my memory seldom fails), that Glorfindel must have left before Celeborn or together with him.
