I feel like I should be able to get this but I can't. I can just figure out some of the words. :confused:

TEA NOR US

A-- / is / -e-- / no- /. Our / ene-ies / are / sti-- / sur-rise- / an- / a-rai- /. An- / sti-- / -oo- / -a-s / -ie / -e-ore / us / [-] -or / a / --i-e /.

Add a couple of L's, that may reveal it ;)

The L's should do it!
 

US TAN LORE

All / is / -ell / no- /. Our / ene-ies / are / still / sur-rise- / an- / a-rai- /. An- / still / -oo- / -a-s / lie / -e-ore / us / [-] -or / a / --ile /.

Here's the line.

"All is well now. Our enemies are still surprised and afraid. And still good days lie before us - for a while."

Is it Beleg to Turin?

You got it, Folwren!

Thanks...but I don't really want to do one now. I should've thought of that before doing the quote. I guess anyone else who wants to take it can go ahead. Sorry. :(

Hm. Well, anyone have one ready?

It would be a shame to let this thread fall into oblivion...
Therefore, here is a new quote to guess:

"---/ -----/ ----/ -----/ ----/ ----/ ----/. --/ ----/ -----/ --/ ----/ --/ ----/ -----/ ----/ ----/ ------/. ---/ ----/ ------/, ---/ ----/ ----/ --/ --/ ----/."

This is the first time since I "died" when this thread wasn't touched for over 2 weeks!:eek::eek::eek:

E's, please!

"--e/ -e---/ ----/ -----/ ----/ --e-/ ----/. -e/ ----/ --e--/ --/ ---e/ --/ ----/ -----/ ----/ ---e/ ----e-/. --e/ ----/ ----e-/, ---/ ----/ e---/ --/ --/ ---e/."

A's, please!

EA

"--e/ -ea--/ ----/ -----/ --a-/ --e-/ ----/. -e/ ----/ --ea-/ --/ ---e/ --/ ----/ -----/ -a--/ -a-e/ -a--e-/. --e/ -a--/ -a--e-/, a--/ ----/ e---/ --/ --/ ---e/."

How about an S.

SEA

"--e/ -ea-s/ ----/ -----/ --a-/ --e-/ ----/. -e/ ----/ s-ea-/ --/ ---e/ --/ ---s/ -----/ -a--/ -a-e/ -asse-/. --e/ -a-s/ -a--e-/, a--/ ----/ e---/ -s/ --/ ---e/."

L's, please!

SEAL

"--e/ -ea-s/ --ll/ -----/ --a-/ --e-/ --ll/. -e/ --ll/ s-ea-/ --/ ---e/ --/ ---s/ ----l/ -a--/ -a-e/ -asse-/. --e/ -a-s/ -a--e-/, a--/ ----/ e--l/ -s/ --/ ---e/."

B's, if you will.

SABLE

"--e/ -ea-s/ --ll/ b----/ --a-/ --e-/ --ll/. -e/ --ll/ s-ea-/ --/ ---e/ --/ ---s/ ----l/ -a--/ -a-e/ -asse-/. --e/ -a-s/ -a--e-/, a--/ ----/ e--l/ -s/ --/ ---e/."

Hmmm... how about an M?

Thanks for the revival, Guinevere. I just didn't get around to putting up one myself. :)

How about H?

SHAMBLE

"-he/ -ea-s/ --ll/ b----/ --a-/ -he-/ --ll/. -e/ --ll/ s-ea-/ --/ m--e/ --/ -h-s/ ----l/ ma--/ ha-e/ -asse-/. -he/ -a-s/ -a--e-/, a--/ m---/ e--l/ -s/ --/ --me/."

"o"s, please.

AM SHELOB

"-he/ -ea-s/ --ll/ b----/ --a-/ -he-/ --ll/. -e/ --ll/ s-ea-/ -o/ mo-e/ o-/ -h-s/ ----l/ ma--/ ha-e/ -asse-/. -he/ -a-s/ -a--e-/, a--/ m---/ e--l/ -s/ -o/ -ome/."

I should get this by now, considering how many words I guessed... but I didn't get it yet. :rolleyes:

W's?

R's?

WARM SHELOB :D

"-he/ -ears/ w-ll/ br---/ w-a-/ -he-/ w-ll/. We/ w-ll/ s-ea-/ -o/ more/ o-/ -h-s/ ----l/ ma--/ ha-e/ -asse-/. -he/ -a-s/ -ar-e-/, a--/ m---/ e--l/ -s/ -o/ -ome/."

"v"s, please.

ABELHMORSVW

"-he/ -ears/ w-ll/ br---/ w-a-/ -he-/ w-ll/. We/ w-ll/ s-ea-/ -o/ more/ o-/ -h-s/ ----l/ ma--/ have/ -asse-/. -he/ -a-s/ -ar-e-/, a--/ m---/ ev-l/ -s/ -o/ -ome/."

How about Is?

ABELHIMORSVW

"-he/ -ears/ will/ bri--/ w-a-/ -he-/ will/. We/ will/ s-ea-/ -o/ more/ o-/ -his/ ---il/ ma--/ have/ -asse-/. -he/ -a-s/ -ar-e-/, a--/ m---/ evil/ is/ -o/ -ome/."

This is so frustrating! I can guess almost all the words, but I still can't recognize the quote!:rolleyes:

Maybe C's will help...

Btw, Guinevere, is it possible that you missed an H in the 5th word?:Merisu:

"t"s, please.

ABCELHIMORSTVW

"The/ -ears/ will/ bri--/ what/ the-/ will/. We/ will/ s-ea-/ -o/ more/ o-/ this/ --til/ ma--/ have/ -asse-/. The/ -a-s/ -ar-e-/, a--/ m-ch/ evil/ is/ to/ come/."

I had indeed forgotten not only one, but two H's!:( I am very sorry!
Hint: the quote is from LotR

"The years will bring what they will. We will speak no more of this until many have passed. The days darken, and much evil is to come."

Elrond to Aragorn, in The Tale of Aragorn and Arwen.

I had to google the quote to find the speaker (well, I knew all the words except for 'day'). I'd never have thought of looking in the Ap.s!

Correct, of course! Sorry for picking an apparently obscure quote...

Thanks, Guinevere! The quote isn't that obscure. I just never thought of thinking about the appendices! :p

So here's my quote. It should be easier to guess. ;) It's also one of my favourites in the book that it's from.

"------ /, ------ /, ---- / ----- / - / --- / --- / ----- /?"

I'm guessing 'e' first, because if I'm right, the first word has two 'e's' in it.

E
 

"----e- /, ----e- /, --e- / ----- / - / -ee / --- / ----- /?"

Sorry, but it only has 1 E.

I was wrong. Fascinating.

How 'bout S's, then?
