Lothlórien
In J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium, Lothlórien is the fairest forest realm of the Elves remaining in Middle-earth during the Third Age.
The realm plays an important part in The Lord of the Rings as the Elven centre of resistance against Sauron and is a symbol for the Elves' aesthetics of preservation which provides a space 'out of time' for the characters who both live and visit there. With Lothlórien, Tolkien reconciles otherwise conflicting ideas regarding time-distortion in Elfland from various traditional sources such as Thomas the Rhymer (13th/14th century) and the Danish folk-play Elverhøj (1828).
Names
Tolkien gave the same forest many different names:
The form Lórinand was also rendered in Quenya as Laurenandë and in Sindarin as Glornan or Nan Laur, all of the same meaning. Other, later names given to the land included the much later Rohirric name Dwimordene (from dwimor "phantom", an allusion to the perceived magic of the Elves), and the Westron name The Golden Wood.

Moments
by: LothlorienCome down to me
I'll give you all you need to live
I'll let go, give in, feel free
I don't need to live
Come down to me
stand for the things you belive in
my heart is burning
all doors wide open
I'll let go, give in, feel free
I don't need to live
I just want to leave it all behind
pay attention
emotions no longer bear mankind
Misfortune grows by every moments fall
the irony of my yearning passion
emotions swirl round my coming event
