   There's also this bit. Could the Ents be somehow connected to   
   Elvish rejuvenation?   
      
      "It [Fanghorn Forest] is old, very old," said the Elf.   
      "So old that almost I feel young again, as I have not felt   
      since I journeyed with you children. It is old and full   
      of memory. I could have been happy here, if I had come   
      in days of peace."   
      
   Furthermore:   
      
      "No, no!" cried Gimli. "Do as you please in your madness,   
      but let me first get down from this horse! I wish to see no eyes!"   
      
     "Stay, Legolas Greenleaf!" said Gandalf. "Do not go back into   
      the wood, not yet! Now is not your time."
