Shrivel and scorch! A fizzling torch
To light the night for our delight,
Ya hey!

Stars and Glory! But the elves would make a song of that, if ever they heard of it! And may I live to tell them and hear them sing.

Was this said by Sam, by any chance?


Oh smilies/cool.gif, I started a new page smilies/smile.gif

You've finally got it , Dûrlossiel! smilies/smile.gif
But if you don't know where the quote is from, I understand why you couldn't recognize it earlier.

It is indeed Sam who says this, in Shelob's lair. It's about Frodo driving back Shelob with the star-glass and Sting.

Anyhow, it's your turn now!

Ha, at last I found it! although you haven't added the "R"s that I asked for on 26.5.!

It is in Bregalad's mourning for the rowan trees:
Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft!
O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey;
Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day.

instead of "grey" you had --ain, which further puzzled me... smilies/rolleyes.gif

I think I have it:

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Iluvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.
