The best part of Gimli’s weird awkward infatuation with Galadriel is just Celeborn standing in the background having no idea what to do every time this strange grumpy dwarf starts waxing poetic about his wife

“[Gimli] rose clumsily and bowed in dwarf-fashion, saying: `Yet more fair is the living land of Lórien, and the Lady Galadriel is above all the jewels that lie beneath the earth! ’

There was a silence. At length Celeborn spoke again.”

There is literally the most awkward silence ever in the middle of the page, where the other members of the Fellowship are probably all silently glaring at Gimli as he’s about to get them kicked out for hitting on the Lady of Lorien, and Celeborn is still trying to comprehend that dwarves actually know how to write poetry.
