This is driving me insane! It sounds so familiar, yet I can't place it! *Argh*

Ah, of course! *slapping my forhead* Well done, Dimturiel! :)

(That I didn't remember it just shows that this is one of the few poems I am not so fond of and have consequently hardly ever reread.)

Thenamir

04-02-2007 08:23 AM

Sorry for the delay, Dimturiel, that was spot on. The floor is yours!

EDIT: Going back, I noticed that you had the word "slowly" which actually should be "softly". For shame! :rolleyes:

Dimturiel

04-03-2007 11:22 AM

Thank you!

04-06-2007 12:34 PM

the quote is just as I guessed already yesterday:

"Speak no words of omen. For there may be more roads than one that could bear that name."

It seems familiar, but I can't find it where I suspected it. :confused:
Is it said by Gandalf?

Perhaps someone else will recognize it.

Dimturiel

04-07-2007 08:07 AM

You've got the quote, but not the character. :p HINT: It's in ROTK

Finduilas

04-08-2007 12:24 PM

Is it either Aragorn, or someone talking to Aragorn, about the Paths of the Dead? I'm not sure who it is.

Dimturiel

04-08-2007 01:33 PM

Someone talking about the Paths of the Dead, yes, but not Aragorn, and not to him, either :p . Anyway, I'll be gone for a week, so I guess Guinevere can have it since she's got the quote right.

Guinevere

04-09-2007 03:14 AM

At last I found the exact place! :)

It's Théoden answering Merry, (in "The Muster of Rohan"), who had said: "I will be ready, even if you bid me ride with you on the Paths of the Dead."

*goes away to find a new quote*

Guinevere

04-11-2007 01:44 PM

OK, since I am authorised by Dimturiel , here is a new quote (if anybody is still willing to guess, that is... ;) )

"-----/ --/ ------/ --/ ----/ -----/. ---/ ----/ -----/ --/ ---/ -----/ -----/ ------/ --/ --/. --/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/ ------; -------/ ----/ --/ -----/ ----/ ---/ ----/."
