A long, long, long time ago, [livejournal.com profile] elena_tiriel gave me the quote:
'Mithrandir was lost!' said Faramir. 'An evil fate seems to have pursued your fellowship. It is hard indeed to believe that one of so great wisdom, and of power — for many wonderful things he did among us — could perish, and so much lore be taken from the world.'

The Two Towers, LoTR Book 4, Ch 6, The Forbidden Pool
and asked What were Faramir's inner thoughts and emotions, his reaction?

Day 317

He fleeth as it were a shadow

A part of Faramir selfishly cried out for all he had not time to learn. Not of magics and mysteries, but of the history of the world. For Mithrandir’s memory surely reached back into days now forgotten and lands unvisited.

Could he have recalled, if only Faramir had thought to ask, his speech with Gondor’s Kings? Or shared truths of the far North, where mayhap still dwelt dragons and dwarves from the legends of the Horse-Lords?

Yet the days had always been too short to learn all the world could teach, and Faramir's own end no doubt was hastening to meet him.
