No lathspell you should not feel stupid, this isn't a well known quote. I don't think this will be much help.

Hmm, one or two words stand out, but it's still not clear. What about a P?

Oh, wait, I know it! It's Haldir, in FotR:

"Some there are among us who sing that the Shadow will draw back, and peace shall come again. Yet I do not believe that the world about us will ever again be as it was of old, or the light of the Sun as it was aforetime."

Well played Elanor! Your turn.

Ok then, here goes.

Oops, I think my previous version had the wrong number of gaps in the 8th word. This is the correct version.

What about an S?

And I know exactly what you mean about crosswords. I find it helps to copy down the spaces and try different letter combinations in the gaps. Not that I'm taking this too seriously or anything... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Think I found it [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Is it

Correct, Estanesse! Your turn.

Thanks

It's almost clear now, though I could not find the entire quote yet. I think a 'W' would do good.

Hope you can find the entire quote with this letters [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
