Guinevere 10-30-2005 03:58 AM

Ah, found it at last!! :) (Thank you for the "Y", Tuor!) "morrow-year" really stumped me...

I've caught a happy day blown me by the breezes!
Why wait till morrow-year?
I'll take it when me pleases.

Tom Bombadil, deciding to go boating on that day.

Estelyn Telcontar 10-30-2005 07:19 AM

Very good, Guinevere! I thought that bit of the Bombadil poetry felt nice! Next one's yours.

Guinevere 10-31-2005 03:38 AM

Thank you! Here's a new one:

You can't depend on mermaids, except for keeping their own secrets; they're better than oysters at that.
The mer-dog, telling Roverandom of his adventures. Interestingly, one version that I have includes an amusing typo in this sentence - "they're better than oysters at chat". Quite the opposite meaning!

By the way, it was the word "oysters" that gave it away - it wasn't hard to figure out which work would contain that!

Guinevere 11-01-2005 04:27 AM

I had suspected that the oysters would at once reveal it to you! :D

Ooooooh, are we being alphabetical this time? ;)

Tuor of Gondolin 11-01-2005 12:13 PM

Ooooooh, are we being alphabetical this time?
=============
Of course not, it's just a coincidence.

Let's see, how about "c"s?

arcticstorm 11-01-2005 12:43 PM
