Erendis 01-15-2010 06:17 PM

Some A's wouldn't harm.

Loslote 01-15-2010 08:11 PM

TheGreatElvenWarrior 01-16-2010 04:18 AM

Can I have an 'H' (or two), please?

Loslote 01-17-2010 01:30 AM

Fs would be fine, fun, and fantastic. :)

Guinevere 01-19-2010 01:57 PM

Hm, I was sure this would be solved by now...:rolleyes:

"-ut/ if/ the-/ wear-/ of/ rest/ and/ the/ --a-s/ of/ -eace/, soon/ the-/ wi--/ -o/ -ac-/ to/ their/ -reat/ --a-/, -ans-a-in-/ and/ war/. Thus/ it/ is/; and/ we/ are/ set/ here/ a-on-/ the-/. -ut/ we/ need/ not/ assent/."

I have the quote, but I just can't remember the source!

Lindale 01-19-2010 10:51 PM

"But if they weary of peace and the plays of peace, soon they will go back to their great play, manslaying and war. Thus it is, and we are set here among them. But we need not assent..."

Erendis to Ancalime. I love this quote, and not least because Tolkien isn't too fond of strong-willed women. Let me continue:

"...We also are daughters of the great, and we have wills and courage of our own. Therefore do not bend, Ancalime. Once bend a little, and they will bend you further until you are bowed down. Sink your roots into the rock, and face the wind, though it blow away all your leaves."

Guinevere 01-20-2010 02:18 PM

exactly
 
Take it away, Lindale! (I thought Erendis was going to find that quote ;) )

If I remember rightly I have used the last sentence you quoted as a "palantir" some time ago.

Lindale 01-21-2010 04:10 AM

Yep, I remember it Guin; wasn't I the one who figured that one out too? I lurve Erendis! One of my most favorite female characters ever.

Now here's my palantir:

- - / - - / - / - - - - / - - - - /, / - - - - - - / - - / - - / - - - /, / - - / - - - / - - - / - - - / - - - - -/ - - / - - - - - - /_ / - - - - - /, / - - - / - - - / - - / - - - / - - - - / - - / - - - - / - - - - - - /.

Inziladun 01-21-2010 10:09 AM

Guinevere 01-21-2010 01:58 PM

Tuor in Gondolin 01-21-2010 02:04 PM

Loslote 01-21-2010 03:28 PM

Good job, Lindale! Are there any Hs?

Quote:

"it is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts."
Aragorn to the hobbits about the tale of Beren and Luthien.

I love this quote, because it describes exactly the effect of Tolkien's works: they lift up the heart!

("the eye" made me chuckle!)

Lindale 01-23-2010 03:22 AM

THE I has spoken!
 
You got it, Guinevere!

Guinevere 01-25-2010 01:09 PM

:) Thank you, Lindale!

Quote:

'Farewell!' 'Wherever you fare, till your eyries receive you at the journey's end!'
The Eagles to Thorin and Co. at their parting.

Guinevere 01-27-2010 03:27 PM

Exactly.:) Your turn again, Inziladun!
