But it is listed among her poems, according to Google. You would ignore this fact, though.
Anyway, Remember?

No, I would not ignore it. I have an extremely thick book containing all of her poems. I have read most of them, but not every single one. And I can't remember every single one. There are hundreds of them.
'Remember' is the right answer, but can you explain the Tolkien reference?

"Remember Galadriel and her mirror." Hence my 'looking glass' comment. 'Orders' is correct.

Of course you are!
It would have been nice to see the looking glass bit guessed, though.

I think Feanor probably lost the plot quite a while before wells were even invented.

Nearly.
I thought of using RIDE from Glorfindel's order to Frodo. But that's only in the BBC radio version. In the book, it's FLY. Actually, is it FLY then RIDE in both versions? I think it might be. ... Anyway, the answer is a bit more than ride, and is from LOTR, but a different part.

Thanks, I have an idea, but it's unfinished. Will post it as soon as I figure out what the last answer should be.

Here it is
1. Endless French valley in a muddle, briefly surrounded by global mod? There he is!
2. Muddled defects reveal him 3. Note, stern he is. 4. To shine? It turns for him 5. Noisy, with direction? See him! 6. Related to fungus he is, after a spin.

Is the endless French valley LOIR again, and is it OLORIN?
If the 'global mod' thing is something to do with gaming, I will never get it.

Yes, it's LOIR. Try abbreviating 'global mod', surround LOIR with these letters, and what do you see?

More hints
2. Think synonym for 'defects' and rearrange it.
4. ![]() 5. Think synonym for 'noisy' and add one of six direction letters. 6. What's the other word for 'of fungus'?

5. ULDOR. LOUD + R.
6. Fungoid? Is it people who are (ac)cursed?
