Okay, I'm back, supper is eaten, and the others are loading the dishwasher and clearing away the leftovers. So here's my quote. TAKE NOTE: it's from the narrative, not dialogue, but there should be enough unique-ish words to give pointers.

Galadriel55 12-20-2010 09:33 AM

N's, please!

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 12-20-2010 12:49 PM

Good choices, all (and I knew I should've checked things more closely last night — party exhaustion made me miss a few letters, which are now in place. My pardons).

Rs, please.

Guinevere 12-20-2010 02:06 PM

This sounds indeed familiar... and very Silmarillon-like!;)

W please

Folwren 12-20-2010 02:24 PM

Here, I have it. Guinevere, your Silm. hint tipped me off.

"And it is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance else that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Iluvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen."

It's found at the beginning of the book in the Ainulindalė.

Ibrīnišilpathānezel 12-20-2010 02:52 PM

Ah, Guinevere was right about the Silmarillion, and you indeed have it, Folwren! The floor is yours!

Folwren 12-20-2010 10:19 PM

It will be a little while before I get a quote up...maybe tomorrow later afternoon.

Folwren 12-21-2010 06:23 PM

Alright, I've got it. Fire away.

Got it!:D

"The Sun must have run into a cloud while we've been under these trees, and now she has run out again; or else she has climbed high enough to look down through some opening"

Merry to Pippin in Fangorn forest, right before they climb the cliff and meet Treebeard.

Folwren 12-25-2010 12:40 PM

That is correct. Good work.

Galadriel55 12-25-2010 11:11 PM

Good job, Guinevere!
