Look! Gulls! They are flying far inland. A wonder they are to meand a trouble to my heart. Never in all my life had I met them, until we came to Pelagir, and there I heard them crying in the air as we rode to the battle of the ships. Then I stod still, forgetting war in Middle-earth; for their wailing voices spoke to me of the sea. The sea! Alas! I have not yet beheld it. But deep in the hearts of all my kindred lies the sea-longing, which it is perilous to stir. Alas! for the gulls. No peace shall I have again under beech or under elm.
