Fly is used a lot in classical English literature (where Tolkein got much of his inspiration). The quote that is most readily available in my mind is from Macbeth when Banquo says, "O, treachery! Fly, good Fleance, fly, fly, fly!". It just has a more sophisticated, urgent, and wise ring to it then using run or something like that. I think it fits Gandolfs character perfectly.
