Behold the light!

FOTR, Book 2, Chapter VII, The Mirror of Galadriel
After Frodo looks into the mirror, Galadriel tells him:
"I perceive the Dark Lord and know his mind, or all of his mind that concerns the Elves. And he gropes ever to see me and my thought. But still the door is closed!"
And after he notices the Ring on her finger she says:
"This is Nenya, the Ring of Adamant*, and I am its keeper."
