Guinevere 05-28-2003 03:03 PM

Ha, at last I found it! although you haven't added the "R"s that I asked for on 26.5.!

It is in Bregalad's mourning for the rowan trees:
Quote:

Upon your head how golden-red the crown you bore aloft!
O rowan dead, upon your head your hair is dry and grey;
Your crown is spilled, your voice is stilled for ever and a day.
instead of "grey" you had --ain, which further puzzled me... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]

My apologies, I missed the R completely, as to grain, it was an error in typing I do apologise too, I edited in in notepad and missed the mistake completely. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Your turn, well done despite my ineptitude [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Guinevere 05-28-2003 04:06 PM

Thank you, Gilraën!

Thou shalt be the last king. And if the West prove mightier than thy black Master, this curse I lay upon thee and thy folk: to rest never until your oath is fulfilled.

Guinevere 06-02-2003 12:38 AM

Correct, of course.
I could have made a bet you'd be the next one to post and solve it, Gilraën! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I think I have it:

There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Iluvatar; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones, that were the offspring of his thought, and they were with him before aught else was made.
