[Eruanna]

Let him be called Tuor, for that name his father chose, ere war came between us. And I beg of you to foster him, and to keep him hidden in your care; for I forbode that great good, for Elves and men, shall come from him.

"Often of late I have thought that you preferred it so," said Aldarion. "But let us not be wroth, even if we are not of like mind. Look in your mirror, Erendis. You are beautiful, and no shadow of age is there yet. You have time to spare to my deep need. Two years! Two years is all that I ask!"

The capital E and the 'you are beautiful' gave it away smilies/smile.gif

'Ah! Here it is at last! ' said Gandalf. `This is where the stream ran: Sirannon, the Gate-stream, they used to call it. But what has happened to the water, I cannot guess; it used to be swift and noisy. Come! We must hurry on. We are late.'

[Eruanna]

I swear gilraën, you must have a photographic memory, or phenomenal research skills smilies/smile.gif

You are correct.....your turn smilies/smile.gif

[gilraën]

Eruanna, some people are talented at writing, I am not. Others are talented in languages, I am not. What I do well is knowing words, their shape, form, etc. I am the daughter of an english teacher, now retired and my mother was a writer, poet and crossword aficionado. So we grew up with 'words'. I also grew up as 'the child who could find anything', at university I, almost, became a research asisstant, clever you for guessing that one. smilies/smile.gif

I'll post mine later today.

"Farewell! O Gandalf!" said the king. "May you ever appear where you are most needed and least expected! The oftener you appear in my halls the better shall I be pleased!"

Grrr, you were just a bit faster than I! I also had (nearly) all the words, and was frantically searching in the book where it was said (Thought it was Elrond in the council)

He that flies counts every foeman twice, yet I have spoken to stouthearted men, and I do not doubt that the main strength of the enemy is many times as great as all that we have here.

I spotted Luthien Tinuviel in the last line, so I think this is it:

"Farewell sweet earth and northern sky, for ever blest, since here did lie and here with lissom limbs did run beneath the moon, beneath the sun, Luthien Tinuviel more fair than mortal tongue can tell."

'Lady, you know all my desire, and long held in keeping the only treasure that I seek. Yet it is not yours to give me, even if you would; and only through darkness shall I come to it.'

[Guinevere]

My goodness, Gilraën, it's really uncanny how you can see the words with so few letters! smilies/eek.gif You're a genius in this game! smilies/wink.gif

[gilraën]

Guinevere, I don't see all the words just some, and often, not always, I recognise something, then I look for that which I think it may be, sometimes it takes many, many looks. smilies/smile.gif

I have a strong suspicion that it might be:

[ June 20, 2003: Message edited by: The Saucepan Man ]

[gilraën]

Correct, and that is sometimes how I find the quotes too. smilies/smile.gif

[Beren87]

The "ere" gave it away, as there aren't many words that begin with it.

"--/--/---/----/--/---/----,/---/---/------/--/----,/-/----/-----/--/---/---."

[The Saucepan Man]

OK, let's start with an 'E' please.

[Beren87]

Always a good choice, but it won't add too much here.

Are there any "T"s?

"-t/--/the/----/--/-u-/-a--,/a--/th-/-ha---/--/----,/a/-e--/---e-/--/-h-/a--."

Not much help I'm afraid. Not a "C" to be found.

Ah, welcome Gwaihir!

Good god, I very much doubt I'll ever have a go at answering one of these. The amount of research that you'd need to do must be huge; unless the quote is a really obvious one, which it probably never is.

Anyway go on.
