Gimli to Legolas about to go into the Path's of the dead. I was wrong, when I first thought I knew what it was...and I still don't have my book.

Well done, Folwren!

I hope this is not too short...it should not be.

Gelmir to Tuor, "Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin"

That was a bit tricksy! :)

[Galadriel55]

That was a bit tricksy! :)

yeah, all we had to do is search for all the people who ever said "farewell"! ;)
Good job, Ibri!

[Inziladun]

Sharp as ever, Ibrin. ;)

Take it away.

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

Actually, it was the "walk (something) in darkness" that tipped me off. I usually figure that if I need to do a computer search to find the quote, I need to read the books again. ;)

I will have the next puzzle up this evening. Right now, I'm taking a short breather before I have company coming for an afternoon Christmas tea... supper... thingie. Man, this place is a wreck...! :D

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

Okay, I'm back, supper is eaten, and the others are loading the dishwasher and clearing away the leftovers. So here's my quote. TAKE NOTE: it's from the narrative, not dialogue, but there should be enough unique-ish words to give pointers.

Rs, please.

[Guinevere]

This sounds indeed familiar... and very Silmarillon-like!;)

W please

[Folwren]

Here, I have it. Guinevere, your Silm. hint tipped me off.

"And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Iluvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen."

It's found at the beginning of the book in the Ainulindalë.

[Ibrîniðilpathânezel]

Ah, Guinevere was right about the Silmarillion, and you indeed have it, Folwren! The floor is yours!

[Folwren]

It will be a little while before I get a quote up...maybe tomorrow later afternoon.

[Folwren]

Alright, I've got it. Fire away.

This isn't a quote that many people would remember, although it's not something you'd mix up with another line. I can tell you what book it's from. Should I?

[Folwren]

No, don't tell us. We're too close to get a hint like that.

[Folwren]

I figured most of it out and then did a google search on it, so I'll consider myself out. I would never have gotten it.

[Inziladun]

"Keep your hate! It is as feeble as all your counsels. But for me the Orcs would have come and hung you as a scarecrow in your garden. Take the name skulker to yourself!"

Dorlas to Brandir in UT (and COH). I remember that passage well for the "what goes around, comes around" effect on Dorlas.

[Galadriel55]

Correct, Zil!
I didn't know this was in the UT, I took it from COH.
Well done, anyways!

[Inziladun]

Thanks, Galadriel. I'll try to have one up today.

[Inziladun]

"Worse things it holds than to sink into the abyss and so perish: loathing, and loneliness, and, madness, terror of wind and tumult, and silence, and shadows where all hope is lost and all living shapes pass away."

[Inziladun]

That's it, LadyBrooke.

Take it away.

This is a hard one Folwren. It's not one of the more well known quotes.

[Galadriel55]

"Your oaths of faith you may break, but I must hold y bond. Yet if there be any on whom the shadow of our curse has not yet fallen, I should find at least a few to follow me, and should not go hence as a beggar that is thrust from the gates."
Finrod to his people, before leaving to help Beren.

[LadyBrooke]

Correct! It's one of my favorite quotes too.

Your turn. :D

[Galadriel55]

This is so frustrating! I can guess almost all the words, but I still can't recognize the quote!:rolleyes:

Maybe C's will help...

Btw, Guinevere, is it possible that you missed an H in the 5th word?:Merisu:

I had indeed forgotten not only one, but two H's!:( I am very sorry!
Hint: the quote is from LotR

[Galadriel55]

"The years will bring what they will. We will speak no more of this until many have passed. The days darken, and much evil is to come."

Elrond to Aragorn, in The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen.

I had to google the quote to find the speaker (well, I knew all the words except for 'day'). I'd never have thought of looking in the Ap.s!

[Guinevere]

Correct, of course! Sorry for picking an apparently obscure quote...

[Galadriel55]

Thanks, Guinevere! The quote isn't that obscure. I just never thought of thinking about the appendices! :p

So here's my quote. It should be easier to guess. ;) It's also one of my favourites in the book that it's from.

"------ /, ------ /, ---- / ----- / - / --- / --- / ----- /?"

[Folwren]

I'm guessing 'e' first, because if I'm right, the first word has two 'e's' in it.

[Galadriel55]

"----e- /, ----e- /, --e- / ----- / - / -ee / --- / ----- /?"

Sorry, but it only has 1 E.

[Folwren]

I was wrong. Fascinating.

How 'bout S's, then?

[Tuor in Gondolin]

"i"s?

[Galadriel55]

"----e- /, ----e- /, --e- / s---- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

[Folwren]

R, please.

[Galadriel55]

"--r-e- /, --r-e- /, --e- / s---- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

[Folwren]

H's!

[Galadriel55]

SHIRE! :D

"--r-e- /, --r-e- /, -he- / sh--- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

[Folwren]

Haha, haha...I have it all but the first two words, which is the same word repeated.

Hm. M's?

[Galadriel55]

Once you know the first word, you know everything about the quote. :p M's should help!

SIR HEM

"M-r-e- /, M-r-e- /, -he- / sh--- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

[Folwren]

I give in. I'll guess another vowel. O.

[Galadriel55]

SIR HOME

"Mor-e- /, Mor-e- /, -he- / sh--- / I / see / -o- / ---i- /?"

There aren't that many instances when this could be said!
