Death Quotes

[Phervasaion]

Right, i made a search on this and I cant find anything exactly like it so hear it goes. Its simple really. One person will quote a line from just before, just after after or during a death scene in any of Tolkiens books (but it must have something to do with the death). Who ever answers correctly will be able to find the next quote.

Heres the first one:

Yea, I will drink thy blood, that I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.

[Eruanna]

Said by Gurthang, the black blade of Turin Turambar, when Turin asked if it would slay him quickly. Afterwards Turin threw himself onto the blade.
From: 'Of Turin Turambar', 'The Silmarillion'

Not sure how much information you need :)

[Phervasaion]

Just say who said it to who and whose death it was about...Anyway that was right Erunna :D . Your turn.

[Eruanna]

Thanks Phervasaion :)

"Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I."

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here you shall fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.

Eöl to Maeglin just before his (Eöl's, that is) execution in Gondolin.

[Eruanna]

Absolutely correct Luthien. :D

Please proceed!

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

....and so terrible was his face, lit by the lightning that flickered all about them.....

There! Hopefully that makes it harder than any other variation on the same episode.

[Firefoot]

It was at the death of Beleg, about Túrin just after he realized what he had done.

So are these quotes that someone said or just quotes from the books?

[Luthien_ Tinuviel]

Indeed it is.

As far as I can tell from Phervasaion's introduction, they just have to come from a death or funeral scene from the books, is all. And so far we seem to really like the Silmarillion. :p

[Firefoot]

Must be because everybody dies in the Sil. ;) Seriously, that was my first impression of the book - "everybody dies!" Anyway:...I must leave it now. Farewell!

[Evisse the Blue]

Thorin on his death bed to Bilbo.

[Firefoot]

Yes.

[Evisse the Blue]

Here goes:
as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the Hill.

[symestreem]

It's Saruman's "death" scene, in Return of the King 'The Scouring of the Shire'.

To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the hill.

[Evisse the Blue]

Correct, symestreem!

[symestreem]

My body is broken.

[Mad Baggins]

Was it Theoden, when poor Snowmane fell on him in Return of the King?

[symestreem]

Indeed it is.

[Mad Baggins]

'Come hither! Come, if you are not all recreant!'

[Evisse the Blue]

Denethor on his pyre.

[Mad Baggins]

Correct.

[Evisse the Blue]

I shall go with the sun
(I have to lenghten my message to at least 1 characters because the message I entered is too short. And so I have :D ).

[Sirithheruwen]

Ummm...hint, please? :)

[Evisse the Blue]

'T is a lady.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

As if anyone should need a hint for that beautiful scene. It's Morwen Eledhwen to her husband Húrin.

'You come at last,' she said. 'I have waited too long.'
'It was a dark road. I have come as I could,' he answered.
'But you are too late,' said Morwen. 'They are lost.'
'I know it,' he said. 'But you are not.'
But Morwen said: 'Almost. I am spent. I shall go with the sun. Now little time is left: if you know, tell me! How did she find him?'
But Húrin did not answer, and they sat beside the stone, and did not speak again; and when the sun went down Morwen sighed and clasped his hand, and was still; and Húrin knew that she had died.

[Evisse the Blue]

Correct of course!

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

Contextualise this:I go now to my long rest

[Mariska Greenleaf]

That would be Finrod Felagund, wounded to death, talking to Beren:

I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the Seas and the Mountains of Aman.

[The Squatter of Amon Rûdh]

It certainly would.

[Phervasaion]

okay, Mariska's had well over the time limit to reply so i may aswell put a quote up...


They buried him in a mound of stones beside the pass; and green turf came there, and yellow flowers bloomed upon it amid the barranness of the stone, until the world was changed

[Firefoot]

That was at Glorfindel's death in the Cirith Thoronath.

[Phervasaion]

Right you are! Your turn firefoot.

[Firefoot]

Let me lie here Sorry for the delay...

[Carnimírië]

Théodred at the Fords of Isen?

[Firefoot]

Perfect.

[Carnimírië]

:)
Yet I do not fear to die

[Carnimírië]

Anyone? Or do you need a hint?

[rutslegolas]

A hint if you please. :D

[Carnimírië]

It's in Unfinished Tales.

[Carnimírië]

It's in Narn i HÎn Húrin. (c'mon, how many people die in the narn?)...someone please guess...

[turgon]

Was it turin to beleg?

[Carnimírië]

Nope (Beleg's death isn't in UT remember?) try again. :)

[turgon]

Dohh! haven't read it in 3 years :rolleyes: :smokin:

[turgon]

ok a wild guess. Hurin to morgoth

[Carnimírië]

Sorry that's incorrect. These are DEATH quotes. Neither Húrin nor Morgoth died, at least not just then.

[turgon]

right again.. stupid me. :rolleyes:

[Evisse the Blue]

Brandir to Turin:
Yet I do not fear to die, for then I will go to seek Niniel whom I loved, and perhaps, I may find her again beyond the Sea.

[Carnimírië]

Absolutely. :)

[Evisse the Blue]

Thanks! :)
How about this one:I have failed.

[Carnimírië]

Boromir to Aragorn.

[Evisse the Blue]

That's right!

[Carnimírië]

Thanks!

A grim morn, and a glad day, and a golden sunset!

[Evisse the Blue]

I suspect nobody's even looking at this thread. I mean, come on - this quote, left unanswered for a week.... :D

Theoden on the Pellenor Fields.

[Carnimírië]

Yeah, this thread and the UT Quotes thread are pretty quiet.

You are correct of course. :) Please proceed.

[Evisse the Blue]

Ok, thanks.

"Is the play in the valley too rough?"

[Carnimírië]

That's Nain to Azog in the Battle of Azanulbizar.

[Evisse the Blue]

Correct! Take it away! :)

[Carnimírië]

"Precious, precious, precious!"

[Kath]

Is it Gollum as he falls into the fires of Mount Doom.

[Carnimírië]

Right of course. Your turn. :)

[Kath]

Fly you fools!

This counts! It does! Especially when you're too tired to go up two flights of stairs to find the books.

[Garen LiLorian]

Gandalf, but I don't think it counts.:D

[Kath]

It was, I'm sure he technically died to become Gandalf the White. But anyhoo you got it.

[Garen LiLorian]

Alright, here we go
I killed him! I am the master!

[rutslegolas]

Gollum talking to himself ?

[Garen LiLorian]

Nein, Mein herr.

[Eruanna]

This one has been bugging me for ages, then when looking for something else, I found it :rolleyes:

It is Azog, speaking to Nár. The death in question is that of Thrór after the orcs had taken control of Moria.

[Garen LiLorian]

I had been wondering if anyone was paying attention to this thread anymore. You are, of course, right, Eruanna, so the thread is yours.

[Eruanna]

I can't resist a good quotes thread :)

" Evil work, Neithan "

Although at first I blanked out the name, I've changed my mind and added it. Much easier now :)

[Eruanna]

No one?

[Carnimírië]

Hmm, might this be Androg to Turin?

[Eruanna]

It was indeed Androg speaking of Turin's killing Forweg.
Your turn. :)

[Carnimírië]

Thanks :)
Here's the next one
How do ye of uncouth race dare to demand ought of me. . .?

[Envinyatar]

The start of Elu Thingol's last words to the Dwarves before they rose up and slew him to obtain the Nauglamir . . .

[Carnimírië]

That's right!
You may proceed.

[Envinyatar]

Let me lie here . . . to keep the Fords . . .!

I've left the last 3 words off as they pin down the quote too much and make it too easy.

- E -

[Eruanna]

"Let me lie here . . . to keep the Fords til Eomer comes!"

Théodred's last words to the Rohirrim as he lay dying after the First Battle of the Fords of Isen.

U.T. V

[Envinyatar]

Perfect! Carry on, please . . .

- E -

[Eruanna]

Thanks E :)

New death quote:


"...it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life..."

[Envinyatar]

One of my favorite stories:

Finrod Felagund to Beren, after Finrod had saved the man from being killed by a wolf:

"I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the seas and the Mountains of Aman. It will be long ere I am seen among the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life, for the fates of our kindred are apart. Farewell!"

- E -

[Eruanna]

My favourite too!
Finrod Felagund was my first M.E crush :D
The thread is yours...again :)

[Envinyatar]

Try this: :)


" . . . I have returned to take what is mine; for I am the last of my people."

- E _

[Envinyatar]

How about an easier one. I'd hate for this to die on my account: :eek:

There was a quick beat of hoofs, and even as [he] leaped up and ran, he was ridden down and a spear passed through him. He gave a hideous shivering cry and lay still.

[The Elf-warrior]

Is it Grishnak?

[Envinyatar]

Absolutely correct!

Your turn!

- E -

[The Elf-warrior]

"Come, if you are not all recreant!"

[Sleepy Ranger]

That be Denethor if I'm not mistaken, right after or before snatching the torch from one of his servants methinks.

[The Elf-warrior]

You are right and it was before he took the torch.

[Sleepy Ranger]

see the light again

Did anybody beat my 9 second reply yet?

[Sleepy Ranger]

Bump!

[Eorl of Rohan]

How about a more detailed, or easier quote for us novices? Or tell us the name of the book, at least. Why does this sentence keep reminding me of 'Or behold the flowing years from the sea returning?' Good grief, this quote gives me the feeling of searching in a dark room with my eyes closed for a black cat that doesn't exist.

[Glirdan]

I'm going to just guess at this, but was it perhaps Gandalf talking about when he died? Just a guess.

[Sleepy Ranger]

If you're new at Quotes I dare-say this Quote will be near impossible for you to answer. I'm sorry Glirdan wrong answer, just to make things easier I'll tell you where to look.

You must look inside to find the answer.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Smash them! Beat them! Bite them! Gnash them! Take them away to the dark holes full of snakes and never let them see the light again!

-The Greate Goblin

[Sleepy Ranger]

Right you are.
Very good job indeed.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

Don't know if I am doing this right so bare with me if the quote is not good.

put an end to that,

[Eonwe]

hint, possibley?

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

"answer me this, what creature would you be unwilling to kiss?"

Warning : This hint is not Tolkien realtet

(but I hope it helps anyway)

[Sleepy Ranger]

There are many a creature I would not kiss but here is your answer.

"I'll soon put an end to that." Hissed the angry spider.

[Rune Son of Bjarne]

So it did !

youre up Sleepy.

(the hint was a part of a riddle frome Harry Potter :o , the answer was ofcourse Spider)

[Sleepy Ranger]

Theres a remainder for you

So yea...>_>

[Eonwe]

hint, almighty lord of quotes?

[Dimturiel]

Snaga to Frodo in the tower of Cirith Ungol before being killed by Sam?

[Plastic_Panda]

yes....so should u go next? i looked it up in my book.....

[Sleepy Ranger]

Yes indeed it be your turn Dimturiel.
And Panda we have a 10 day rule, I have till then to reply ^_^

[Dimturiel]

Thank you. to be dead. Enjoy!

[Sleepy Ranger]

'Twas Nienor. Yes indeed, Chapter 21 is definately my favorite. :)

[Dimturiel]

Indeed it was :cool: . I loved that chapter too, though I also found it a bit depressing.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Come Hither!

And answer the Quote!

[Dimturiel]

Come hither! Come if you are not all recreant.! Denethor to his servants before seting himself on fire.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Ah! Excellent job Dimturiel!
Bow down and I shall bestow upon thee the rank of Knight! Henceforth you shall be known as Sir Dimturiel and shall be in the service of the King of Quotes. Kneel Sir Dimturiel!

*Raises sword*

[Dimturiel]

Well...um...'twould actually have to be lady Dimturiel but I accept the honour anyway.(at least until I am able to supplant you. :p )not in despair.

[Sleepy Ranger]

Aye, Sir or Lady it makes no difference. I knight thee Lady of the Order of Quotes.

Supplant me? Dream on... I'm younger than you, more experienced than you and already King besides if you try to supplant me I'm sure the Queen will stop you! ^_^

As for the answer er... I'm working on it but I'm certain its not from the Hobbit or RotK or Chapter 21 of the Silma.

[Dimturiel]

Come on answer, someone! It's not that hard, really. HINT: The speaker was not killed by anyone, but died of old age. I think this will help.

[Thinlómien]

The only thing that comes to my mind is Arwen.

[Dimturiel]

No, but you are close.Try again.

[elronds_daughter]

Aragorn?

I may be way off, I don't have my books handy....

[Dimturiel]

Actually you are not way off :). Aragorn it is.

[elronds_daughter]

it would be a merrier world.

Have at it!

[Firefoot]

Thorin to Bilbo.

[elronds_daughter]

Nicely done, Firefoot. The thread is yours.

[Thinlómien]

*bump*
Firefoot? You're missed here! :)
