"For that woe is past," "and I would take what joy is here left, untroubled by memory. And maybe there is woe yet to come , though still hope may seem brigt."

Who said that? And to who did they say it to?

Turambar 12-21-2001 07:32 AM

I posted that excellent quote myself, once, so I'll let someone else guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion 12-30-2001 04:09 AM

Galadriel to Melian in Menegroth

Arvedui 01-04-2002 11:36 PM

Exactly, your turn.

Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority?

Illuvatar to Aule?

Quote:

I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the seas and the Mountains of Aman. It will be long ere I am seen among the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life, for the fates of our kindred are apart. Farewell!

Felagund to Beren in Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Felagund to Beren in Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Elrian 01-28-2002 09:22 PM

That's it. Your turn.

Quote:

If Manwe and Varda themselves deny the fulfillment of an oath to which we named them in witness, is it not made void?

Lothiriel Silmarien 05-28-2002 02:24 PM

Maedhros? I'll have to look that one up though. That was just off the top of my head.

Elrian 05-28-2002 04:07 PM

Nope.

Heen-1 05-31-2002 09:34 PM

maglor?


oh and for a second guess, even though it sounds stupid since in the quote the word "we" is used, Eonwe?

Elrian 05-31-2002 09:45 PM

You got it Heen-1, your turn. Welcome to the Downs by the way. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Heen-1 06-01-2002 10:44 AM

"I will come.If the Munburg falls, whither shall we flee from the darkness?"

BTW, i didnt memorize any so i just opend the book, is that allowed?

Daniel Telcontar 06-01-2002 10:55 AM

Is it Theoden, answering to the Rider from Gondor carrying the Red Arrow?
It is a good quote, but not one from the Sil. We better bear that in mind.

Heen-1 06-01-2002 03:47 PM

ahhh no its not theoden, and i wasnt paying attention so....ill tell you that its from the Unfinished Tales.

sorry

Mat_Heathertoes 06-05-2002 07:04 AM

Eorl the Young speaking to Borondir the Stirrupless, errand-rider of Gondor after the Balchoth had invaded the Vales of Anduin

BAM!

Quote:

Who made them our spokesmen to deal with him

Daniel Telcontar 06-08-2002 02:33 PM

It was one of feanor's sons, speaking to Galdriel or Finrod, I think, when he heard about Thingol forbidding the Noldorne in his Kingdom.

I don't have the Sil on me [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Maédhros 06-08-2002 09:13 PM

Caranthir the dark.
Quote:

But Caranthir, who loved not the sons of Finarfin, and was the harshest of the brothers and the most quick to anger, cried aloud: 'Yea more! Let not the sons of Finarfin run hither and thither with their tales to this Dark Elf in his caves! Who made them our spokesmen to deal with him? And though they be come indeed to Beleriand, let them not so swiftly forget that their father is a lord of the Noldor, though their mother be of other kin.'

Daniel Telcontar 06-10-2002 08:33 AM

Since no one else posts here, I take it that it is my turn. Who said:
Where are Haldad my father, and Haldar my brother? If the king of Doriath fears a friendship between Haleth and those who have devoured her kin, then the thoughts of the Eldar is strange to Men."

Should be easy with the name references.

Eärendil 06-10-2002 11:04 AM

I would guess Haleth..

Daniel Telcontar 06-10-2002 11:35 AM

Absolutely correct. Your turn to post a quote.

Eärendil 06-11-2002 10:31 AM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I don´t know if this one has been posted before or not, but oh well...

"Go hence, unto a swift and a bitter death."

Turambar 06-11-2002 01:14 PM

Curufin, to Beren.

Eärendil 06-12-2002 05:08 AM

Correct! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn.

Daniel Telcontar 06-23-2002 11:20 AM

Well, I think the deadline has passed. So I will post a quote:
Get thee gone and take thy due place!

Joy 06-23-2002 10:18 PM

Daniel, to answer your quote, it is Fëanor to Fingolfin, his half-brother.

Daniel Telcontar 06-24-2002 01:05 PM

You are right, Joy, and I soubt you had much trouble guessing it. But feel free to post a quote.

Joy 06-24-2002 03:11 PM

So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I!

Salix 06-24-2002 03:55 PM

That was Eol to Maeglin.

Joy 06-24-2002 04:08 PM

Very good Salix, your turn.

Salix 06-24-2002 04:12 PM

Yay! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"See now! I offer thee freedom."

Joy 06-24-2002 05:14 PM

Salix, sounds like Melkor to Fëanor.

Salix 06-24-2002 05:25 PM

Nope, nowhere near. Well, one of the people is related in some way to one of the people in the quote.
