?jevind L?ngHear, hear. He is indeed the parfait gentile knight. And I love to think that he receives his reward, and sees his Lady one more time.
"Well, lord", said Gimli, "and what say you now?" "Alas!" said ?omer. "I will not say that she is the fairest lady that lives." "Then I must go for my axe", said Gimli. "But first I will plead this excuse", said ?omer. "Had I seen her in other company, I would have said all that you could wish. But now I will put Queen Arwen Evenstar first, and I am ready to do battle on my own part with any who deny me. Shall I call for my sword?" Then Gimli bowed low. "Nay, you are excused for my part, lord", he said. "You have chosen the Evening; but my love is given to the Morning. And my heart forebodes that soon it will pass away for ever."
I just don't understand how some people can be dismissive of Gimli. There are other good quotes involving him.
