[ElfEarz]

[ElfEarz]

oops i posted on the wrong board smilies/frown.gif i'm new sorry guys

[Samwise]

Hi there! Welcome! Here is the song: "The Lay of Gil-Galad" as quoted by my fave little hobbit:
Suddenly a low voice murmured:
"Gil-Galad was an elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of Heaven's feild
were mirrored in his silver shield..

But long ago he rode away
and where he dwelleth none can say
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are. "

The others turned in amazement, for the voice was Sam's.

[Eärendil]

Don´t worry ElfEarz! smilies/smile.gif
Welcome to the 'Downs, mae govannen, happy posting and enjoy being dead! smilies/wink.gif

To stay at least slightly on-topic, I have to say I really love the song about Gil-Galad, thanx for posting it Sam! smilies/smile.gif

[Samwise]

You're most welcome,Eärendil. That song is one of my favorites that old Mr. Bilbo taught me, except for the parts about Mordor...

"Elves! " exclaimed Sam. "Elves, sir!" He would have burst out of the trees and dashed off, if they had not pulled him back.

[Melephelwen]

Oooooh! That's the song in my sig!! smilies/cool.gif But Samwise wrote it already, so whatever... smilies/frown.gif
But we could turn this into a quote topic anyway... Can I start?? smilies/biggrin.gif
If I wrote something from a song/poem, and you guys had to guess who sing it?

The world was young, the mountains green,
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone,
When Durin woke and walked alone

It's an easy one with the last line smilies/wink.gif

[Samwise]

I'm so terrible at these things....Aragorn?

Frodo crouching over his knees heard Sam muttering and groaning: "What a place! What a horrible place! Just let me out of this boat, and I'll never wet my toes in a puddle again, let alone a river! "

[Samwise]

Now that I think about it....Legolas?
Sam, who had been watching his master with great concern, shook his head and muttered: "Plain as pikestaff it is, but it's no good Sam Gamgee putting in his spoke just now. "

[Melephelwen]

Nope. smilies/tongue.gif: Small hint: it's in FotR smilies/wink.gif

[Samwise]

Uh, booy....ok, it's about Durin, so....Gimli or Gloin? AGH--next time I'm actually LOOKING in the book. smilies/frown.gif
Sam frowned, and looked at his master; and at last he broke out:
"With your leave, Mr. Frodo, I'd say no! This Strider here, he warns and he says take care; and I say yes to that, and let's begin with him. He comes out of the wild, and I never heard no good of such folk. He knows something, that's plain, and more than I like; but it's no reason why we should let him go leading us out into some dark place far from help, as he puts it. "

[Kaze]

Ack, Samwise, you beat me to it! smilies/smile.gif I'm pretty sure it was Gimli.

[tangerine]

Kaze: i am scared of ur sig. im just kidding, but math can be scarier than anything that you can pull out of Tolkien's writings.
OK, i got a tough one here:
Courage is found in unlikely places. Be of good hope! Sleep now! In the morning we shall be gone; but we will spread our messages though the land.

A hint: This is from on of the scenes in FOTR that didn't make it to the big screen.

[Kaze]

That was Gildor! smilies/smile.gif

And don't worry, my sig scares me, too! smilies/biggrin.gif All math is scary.

[tangerine]

Aw, dang it, i thought that one was tough.

[Kaze]

Here's one:
The way to Minas Tirith lies upon this side, upon the west; but the straight road of the Quest lies east of the River, upon the darker shore.

[Frodosgirl]

is it said by . . . Boromir ???

[Kaze]

Nope, but here's a hint: It was said in the chapter "Farewell to Lorien"

[Eärendil]

I think it was...Celeborn?

[Melephelwen]

Galadriel?

[Kaze]

It was Celeborn, Eärendil got it right.

[Eärendil]

Yay! smilies/smile.gif
Okay, a new one then:
"I felled the black serpent. A grim morn, and a glad day, and a golden sunset!"

[Samwise]

Errr.......I want to say Turin, but I know that's not right..... smilies/tongue.gif
"Eavesdropping Sir? I don't follow you, begging your pardon. There ain't no eaves at Bag End, and that's a fact."
Sam Gamgee

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

Theoden just before he dies.

[Eärendil]

Eowyn got it right! Well done. smilies/smile.gif
Your turn.

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

this may be too hard, but perhaps not smilies/smile.gif
"...to find and to lose..."

[Samwise]

http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/confused4.gif Oooy...surely this isn't right, but maybe if folks guess enough, we'll whittle it down.
Frodo? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/confused4.gif
Sam sat silent and said no more. He had a good deal to think about. For one thing, there was a lot to do up in the Bag End garden, and he would have a busy day tomorrow, if the weather cleared. The grass was growing fast. But Sam had more on his mind than gardening. After a while he sighed, and got up and went out.

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

it's one of the fellowship smilies/smile.gif but not Frodo

[Samwise]

Erm.....Aragorn? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/confused5.gif
"What did I tell you, Mr. Pippin?" said Sam, sheathing his sword. "Wolves won't get him. That was an eye-opener, and no mistake! Nearly singed the hair off my head! "

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

not Aragorn...it's part of a conversation between best friends, if that helps

[charly]

Wait... Gimli leaving Lorien? smilies/wink.gif

[Eowyn of Ithilien]

well the place is right...and since it's so late (early?) and I can't be certain whether it's Legolas or Gimli (but I'm leaning to the former) I'll give it to you smilies/wink.gif

[charly]

Cool, Thanx.
Anyway, here goes:
"That Gandalf Greyhame has need of haste"answerd tell-me-who." Ever he goes and comes unlooked for"

[merlilot]

OK, I know it was a man of Rohan...I don't think it was Theoden or Eomer...was it like a doorwarden or something?

KAZE!!!! Are you aka KAIZ?? You must know who I am if so! Hi!

[charly]

Doorwarden´s correct...remeber his name? Well, I´ll give you this one.(BTW His name was Hama)

[charly]

Ummm... I know I shoudn´t really do this, but since nobody´s been posting a qoute for,like ages, I´ll just do it. Whoever´s turn it was, DO NOT be offended... just wanted this game getting goin´ again.
Quote:
"Speak plainer!"
sooo... who said it??

[ September 25, 2002: Message edited by: charly ]

[merlilot]

That's OK...Love the signature...have no idea who said that...

BTW: anyone know Kaze?

[charly]

Too hard?! Okay, I´ll give you a hint: It´s in RotK and it´s not a member of the fellowship talking.
Now, that shoudn´t be to hard.... you try.

[Reyna Evergreen]

Oooh! Ok, I'm gonna join in now with a very off-shot guess.

I think it was Denethor, but I can't put my finger on when he died..ouch...

[charly]

Nope, not Denethor

[Salix]

Dang! I know in what context it's spoken but I can't remember who! smilies/mad.gif For some reason I keeop thinking of Eowyn...

[charly]

.... then you´re thinking correctly! smilies/tongue.gif It´s éowyn, your turn
