"Shadows had fallen in the valley below, but there was still a light on the faces of the mountains far above. The air was warm. The sound of running and falling water was loud, and the evening was filled with a faint scent of trees and flowers, as if summer still lingered in Elrond's gardens." - J.R.R. Tolkien, 'The Lord of the Rings', Book II, CH. 1, 'Many Meetings'
