> > I can't find any sentence approximating the Line-That-Offends, The closest I saw was towards the end of the Council of Elrond (p 354 in the '60s Ballentine book) "This is the hour the Shire-folk, when they arise from their quit fields to shake the towers and counsels of the great. Who of all the Wise could have forseen it? Or, if they are wise, why should they expect to know until the hour has struck." That's better than the movie line. It may even have been said in the movie. >but I agree the Queen of the Dawn speech is one of the terrific parts.

I think it was a bit stereotypical...with the voice becoming strange and Galadriel becoming monsterous. The book has the description as: "She lifted up her hand and from the right that she wore there issued a great light that illumined her alone and left all else dark. She stood before Frodo seeming now tall beyond measurement and beautiful beyond enduring, terrible and worshipful." She looked hidious to me in the film.
