Yes, that was something of a wild stab in the dark. This, however, is not. It's Ereinion Gil-Galad, in a letter to Meneldur, king of Númenor. He is speaking of Aldarion and the rising shadow of Sauron in the East.

Right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
(btw I was thrilled when I first read UT and saw Gil-Galad's letter: at last a bit more about that legendary but mysterious character... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but unfortunately it didn't go on [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] ) |
Yes, Tolkien did have an annoying habit of leaving his audience hungry for more. It's nice to see a little of Gil-Galad in his own words, nonetheless.
Whose words of wisdom are these? Quote:

Gandalf replying to Meriadoc who asked about Thrain.
|
Right you are.

Quote:
|
Aldarion to Erendis. And he added: "I plant more than I felled."
|
Right you are!
I was gonna add that last part, but I figured it would be all to easy then... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] |
Thank you, Mariska!

Turambar, talking to himself.
|
Of course! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Perhaps it was too easy now for you... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
|
I wouldn't say too easy, but it did help me find it. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Finally found it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] It's Cirion speaking to Eorl and his companions, before they go up to the Halifirien.

Catchup in UT Quotes Game
This is a pasteover from the old forum, so I can continue here. (I'm also pasting Guinevere's quote question):
question: Thanks! I hope this one is not too short: Quote:
Cheers, Lyta Guinevere's response: Yes, well done, Lyta! (btw, since when are you a haunted halfling? I've only noticed it now. Somehow reminiscent of poor Frodo...) OK! Now that I've got all that done, hopefully I haven't broken any rules! Gotta find a new UT quote! Here I go! Quote:
Cheers, Lyta |
That would be about Gandalf, and how he felt towards the "little people". The hobbits of course. Say, I always thought that a "quote" should be something someone says or thinks.
Am I right?:) |
Gee, Mariska, you've uncovered the flaw in my quote! It isn't a quote! But it is Gandalf, so the floor is yours! from Concerning Gandalf, Saruman and the Shire:
Quote:
Cheers, Lyta |
I'll join in :D I just love Unfinished Tales.

Ok, try this one!

Got it!
It was the lame Brandir talking to Niniel Nienor. Quote:
|
You needed only two minutes to find it???:eek:
Good job! :) |
:D This is the first time I got a quiz right!
|
That's great! Congrats. Now you can post a new one for us to find...

Quote:
|
Aldarion to his father, when Meneldur had told him he would resign the sceptre to him.
|
Yes, that's true. Please continnue, Guinevere!
|
thank you, Eorl!
Quote:
|
I got it... I think.
No, wait, that was in LOTR, said by Denethor. *dives for a copy of UT* Be right back! Maybe in conversation between Thorin and Olorin? |
Turin to Gelmir and Arminas
|
Correct, Estanesse! Well done!
|
Thanks Guinevere,

Very good Evisse the Blue , your turn :)

So sorry. Typo.
Quote:
|
No idea. Please have pity on us ignorant mortals and make the quote a bit longer, please.
|
I'm sorry but I forgot where where that quote came from :( it's been a while...heh...amnesia
I'll give a different, longer one now: Quote:
|
Quote:
and the next one: Quote:
|
Correct on all accounts! And thanks for clearing up that mess. Not remembering the first one was really getting to me.
Please continue.:) |
The thing happens. I for myself used to forget encrypted 'backward/another way round/quote that was not' thingies, so now I have a special file for it, where I memorize things I ask. Quite a handy practice, mostly recommended :)
next one: Quote:
