Re: Don't Travel with this Guy

If I remember rightly, the quote is Beor the Old (then Balan) to Finrod Felagund.


-Voronwë
<font size="2">"For Aldarion had become enamoured of the Great Sea, and of a ship riding there alone without sight of land, borne by the winds with foam at its throat to coasts and havens unguessed; and that love and desire never left him until his life's end."</p>

HerenIstarion 02-15-2001 11:39 AM

Exactly

Re: Don't Travel with this Guy

Here goes:

&quot;but whereas the light perceives the very heart of the darkness, it's own secret has not been discovered. Not yet.&quot;

Who said this, and (as a bonus) where was it said?

<font size="2">"For Aldarion had become enamoured of the Great Sea, and of a ship riding there alone without sight of land, borne by the winds with foam at its throat to coasts and havens unguessed; and that love and desire never left him until his life's end."</p>

Re: Don't Travel with this Guy

Galadriel in Lothlorien?

But tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?</p>

Re: Don't Travel with this Guy

Lothlorien, yes. But not Galadriel.

One of the Men of Dale about the barrels holding 13 dwarves and one hobbit.

But tell me, who are you, alone, yourself and nameless?</p>

Re: Re: Re:

&quot;This laod is heavy!&quot; some grumbled. &quot;They float too deep-- some of these are never empty. If they had come a ashore in daylight, we might have had a look inside,&quot; they said.

So I suppose the answer would be &quot;some&quot; or &quot;they&quot; ?

HerenIstarion 02-21-2001 09:40 AM

Nay, it was somehow halfway from Thranduil's palace to Esgaroth. So neither barrelmen of Dale (Dale, my precious-s-s, what'sss Dale?) were involved, nor elves in the palace itself. Try again ;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: re: re e e e e eeee......

That's what I said, or though I did
It was the raft-elves &quot;some&quot; or &quot;they&quot; is who specifically said it.

Oh they've (my younger sibs) gone and run off with The Hobbit again. Confusticate and bebother them!

</p>

HerenIstarion 02-21-2001 01:00 PM

I'm awfully sorry, as eowyn, you were right all the way. I should not have been that hasty. Those were them, truly.

That's enough!

For me anyway, of the Re:'s that is.
It's perfectly alright, it's not like I've never done it before.

&quot;I won't have it, and that's flat.&quot;

Who to whom, and where, and why?

</p>

HerenIstarion 02-21-2001 01:35 PM

Sam, unwilling to leave Bill the Pony behind at the gates of Moria

Re:

it was adressed to Gandalf, but I reckon it was said to Frodo

Is it Merry or Pippin talking about Frodo taking the ring?

Nope, though you stand on the right path

I think its the hobbits talking about Sam's skill as first a spy then a songwriter and so on.

Another clue - it was said in Rivendell

I've searched for this one, H-I, and can't find it! Good Q.

HerenIstarion 05-07-2001 11:36 AM

Quote:

Little Elanor was nearly six months old, and 1421 had passed to its autumn, when Frodo called Sam into the study.
'It will be Bilbo's Birthday on Thursday, Sam,' he said. 'And he will pass the Old Took. He will be a hundred and thirty-one!'
'So he will!' said Sam. 'He's a marvel!'

I comitt I erred - that was said in the Shire. Sorry. :(

Anyway, another lLoTR quote follows:

I don't trust it. Hark at it singing about sleep now! This won't do at all!'

Sam said it in Mordor, measuring distance to the Orodruin

Correct. Your turn H-I.

P.S. I know I posted that Quote when it wasnt my turn, but that was when I was new. <img src=smile.gif ALT=":)">

__________________________________________________ _____________________________________________ “One of the candidates had mercifully left one of the pages with no writing on it ,which is the best thing that can possibly happen to an examiner, and I wrote on it: “In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit.” Names always generate a story in my mind.

Re: New Quote

Thanks H-I.

<blockquote>Quote:<hr> Kinsman, farewell. May your doom be other than mine, and your treasure remain with you to the end! <hr></blockquote>

Who to whom, and of what treasure did he speak?

By practice taught, I have learned patience, having much endured By tempest and in battle both. Come then This evil also! I am well prepared.</p>
