Seriously random thought....I mean, I opened my gigantic copy of LotR and it opened right to this....

In "The Ring Goes South", when the Fellowship reaches Hollin, Legolas comments "...and the trees and the grass do not remember them. Only I hear the stones lament them: deep they delved us, fair they wrought us, high they builded us: but they are gone. They are gone. They sought the Havens long ago."

Is this literal, or figurative? Can Elves actually communicate with nature like Tom Bombadil or the Ents?
