" In his time the City was made more fair than it had ever been, even in the days of its first glory;
and it was filled with trees and with fountains,
and its gates were wrought of mithril and steel,
and its streets were paved with white marble;
and the Folk of the Mountain laboured in it,
and the Folk of the Wood rejoiced to come there;
and all was healed and made good, and the houses were filled with men and women and the
laughter of children,
and no window was blind nor any courtyard empty; and after the ending of the Third Age of the world into the new age it preserved the memory and the glory of the years that were gone. "
