Well, obviously I can read what the quote is, but I'm not sure where it's from...
Inziladun
06-06-2009, 11:03 PM
It appears the quote itself isn't the problem; it's identifying the speaker. Here's a hint.
It was said by a wise person, directed to one who had just done a dangerously foolish thing.
Coincidentally, I just posted in a thread in The Books in the last day or two which touched upon the chapter from which this one was taken.
Mnemosyne
06-06-2009, 11:07 PM
No, the burned hand teaches best. After that advice about fire goes to the heart.
Another Gandalf, that purveyor of fine quotes, in response to Pippin's saying that now that he's been harrowed by looking Sauron in the eye (so to speak) through the Palantir, even if all the stones were before him he'd sit on his hands. Or something to that effect.

I believe it is Gollum's darkness riddle:
It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.
Now I just need to find a suitable quote...

I've always liked it too. Blimey, I don't think I can do this round until next week, we're going camping. If you want to wait that long for another quote, than I would be happy to do it. If you don't want to wait a week, then pick someone else to do the next quote.

Some people are much better at the anagrams, so it's a notable event when I come up with a good one. ;)
Btw, does Draco Malvoy attend Melkor U.
That's the next stop after Hogwarts for the Slytherins.
