Excerpt: 

"The tasks that kept Maglor alive had become so rote over the years that he often did not recall performing them; he simply looked over and noticed the water skins were full or there were skinned rabbits hanging from the rack. Elves were meant to be of Arda, but Maglor wandered far; the dark and distant places in which his mind dwelled were bleak and terrifying to him, but familiar, as the caress of a jailer. At such times as he found himself aware and observed the beauty of Middle-earth it was with the skittish guilt of one who might be caught stealing.

            What right had he to beauty anymore?"
