Treason has ever been our greatest foe

In all the long wars with the Dark Tower treason has ever been our greatest foe. (Gandalf explaining to the Council why he closely held his dread that Bilbo had found the Ring of Power, that the news might slip into the Enemy’s hand.)

We have fought the long defeat

I have dwelt with [Celeborn] years uncounted; for ere the fall of Nargothrond or Gondolin I passed over the mountains, and together through ages of the world we have fought the long defeat. (Galadriel describing she and Celeborn’s activity in the land of Middle-Earth: i.e. the long defeat)
