§64(7). Fántur of Dreams who is Lórien Olofántur, §3(3). Olofantur was the other, maker of visions and of dreams; and his gardens in the land of the Gods were the fairest of all places in the world and filled with many spirits of beauty and power. §6(4). Olofántur the younger of these brethren was also named, maker of visions and of dreams. His gardens in the land of the Gods are the fairest of all the places in the world, and filled with many spirits. §6(4). Olofántur the younger of these brethren was also named, the master of visions and of dreams. His gardens in the land of the Gods are the fairest of all places in the world, and filled with many spirits. §12(1). Irmo the younger is the master of visions and dreams. In Lórien are his gardens in the land of the Valar, and they are the fairest of all places in the world, filled with many spirits.
    §6(5). Estë the pale is his wife, who walks not by day, but sleeps on an island in the dark lake of Lórien. Thence his fountains bring refreshment to the folk of Valinor. §6(5). Estë the pale is his wife, who walks not by day, but sleeps on an island in the dark lake of Lorien. Thence her fountains bring refreshment to the folk of Valinor; yet she comes not to the councils of the Valar, and is not reckoned among their queens. §12(1). Estë the gentle, healer of hurts and of weariness, is his spouse. Grey is her raiment; and rest is her gift. She walks not by day, but sleeps upon an island in the tree-shadowed lake of Lórellin. From the fountains of Irmo and Estë all those who dwell in Valinor draw refreshment; and often the Valar come themselves to Lórien and there find repose and easing of the burden of Arda.
