In sorrow we must go, but not in despair. Behold, we are not bound for ever to the circles of the world, and beyond them is more than memory
I believe these are Aragorn's last words to Arwen (sappy mood eh Firefoot :D )

Firefoot 07-27-2005 12:06 PM

Such sad words...
 
That's correct. :)

O's?

the guy who be short 07-27-2005 02:24 PM

Dubbulyoos, please.

Guinevere 07-27-2005 02:25 PM

Heck, I have missed the quote before! :p
I recognized it immediately, since I know it by heart .I even told my family to put that in the obituary in case I should die...)

Anyhow, I'd like to see the A's

Folwren 07-27-2005 03:12 PM

"E's", bitte schon!"

Kath 07-27-2005 04:51 PM

I'll go for L's again.

mormegil 07-27-2005 08:10 PM

O,W,A,E,L

Sorry it took me so long to get this one out.

Firefoot 07-27-2005 08:23 PM

T's?

Folwren 07-27-2005 08:24 PM

This is probably guessable for the more skilled people around, but not for me, as yet.

"S"

mormegil 07-27-2005 08:49 PM

O,W,A,E,L,T,S

/-et/e-e-/as/-/w--te/-t/-s/-oole-,/a--/-t/see-et-/to/s-----,/t-o---/-t/loset-/-e-t-e-/o-/-ts/-ea-t-/o-/-ts/s-a-e./Al-ea--/t-e/w--t---/--o-/-t,/w----/at/---st/was/as/-lear/as/-e-/-la-e/-a-et-/a--/-s/-ow/o-l-/-a-el-/to/-e/-ea-./


I'm pretty sure I got all of them. I added one "L" that I missed.

Folwren, I don't think it was quite guessable last round but probably is this one...

Hint: look for key phrases. Don't try to solve the whole thing. Find a phrase or two that you can identify and work from there. I think that is what Firefoot and Guinevere do and I know it's what I do. Don't be too hard on yourself I think you are doing great.

"Yet even as I write it is cooled, and it seemeth to shrink, though it loseth neither its beauty nor its shape. Already the writing upon it, which at first was as clear as red flame, fadeth and is now only barely to be read"

Isildur writing of his experience of the Ring.

And Folwren I'd not have got it without those S's, I needed 'seemeth to shrink'.

From Isildur's scroll about the Ring.

Ah, Kath, you beat me to it.

First time for everything!

mormegil 07-28-2005 07:55 AM

Obviously correct!

Kath 07-28-2005 08:01 AM

Cheers.

Folwren 07-28-2005 08:52 AM

A's

You're very kind, Mormegil, and I don't think I'm too hard on myself. Just a bit frusterated at times...I ought to be able to get half of these quotes that are guessed. The main problem is often that I get on too late and though it's possible, someone's already got it. :) But it's all good and I'm having fun still. I comfort myself that the game will go on and I will someday get one.

Folwren all you have to do is distract Firefoot somehow so she can't get there before you!

mormegil 07-28-2005 09:42 AM

"L" please

Timing is important. I have the luxory of being online quite often.

Firefoot 07-28-2005 09:47 AM

S's?

I'll second both Morm's and Kath's thoughts... having nearly unlimited computer access is a definite plus (that'll change for me, though, once school starts up again...). Except earlier today I was much distracted in other areas of the Downs... (coughWerewolfcough). ;)

Kath 07-28-2005 09:51 AM

Firefoot 07-28-2005 09:59 AM

Can't quite get it.

O's?

mormegil 07-28-2005 10:00 AM

A bit odd but let's try "B"

the guy who be short 07-28-2005 10:16 AM

"W"s please.

This should give it to you Firefoot!

mormegil 07-28-2005 10:38 AM

Bah! I can't get it "M" Please.

Firefoot 07-28-2005 10:58 AM

Gr... I have *most* of it, but I haven't got more time to find it just yet. Werewolf calls... :rolleyes:

Firefoot 07-28-2005 11:45 AM

Quote:

"The big lights hurt our eyes, they do," Gollum whined. "Not under the White Face, not yet. it will go behind the hills soon, yess. Rest a bit first, nice hobbits!"
Amazing how many times Gollum tells Frodo and Sam to rest, then wake up, then don't rest yet... I think I just spent more than a half hour on that quote. Nice one, Kath.

Folwren 07-28-2005 12:08 PM

Oh, it was nice hobbits!

Kath 07-28-2005 02:51 PM

Wow I stumped Firefoot! For a while at least ;) You are of course correct, go ahead.

Firefoot 07-29-2005 05:32 AM
