Wow, I’ve got literally nothing. This is tricksy tricksy.

H?

Actually I think I know it but my version has some extra words but everything else fits perfectly.

“But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores, guarding the Havens until the last ship sails. Then I shall await thee.”

Cirdan giving Gandalf the ring.

:eek: Wow, incredible! How did you find that out with only one letter? Kudos!!

In my book (HarperCollins, ed.1994) Cirdan says: "But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails. I will await you."

I wonder that there are such differences... I guess your version is the original one, because an editor would probably not add more text or change "you" to "thee"..:rolleyes:

The first word ended in t which made it most likely But or Put or out, but the third word not being “the” meant unlikely to be a location preposition EG “out of the” “put in the”.

The single letter later was either “I” or “A” I assumed “I” which would make the fourth word “me” to setting up the subject I.

And the phrase that fit best was “But as for me”

A far simpler explanation I made a bunch of assumptions and got lucky.

I *i* *ot *i** to *ot*** *o* *i** * *ot o* **, **ti* I *o*** o*t i* *o* **** ****.

OIT

:eek:
That was...WOW! Good job Morsul!

I

I I captain

I need some T's please

Oh yeah IT’s all coming together

how about O ?

Tio is uncle in Spanish

Aha! :cool: That's from The Hobbit:

Gandalf to Beorn, when introducing the dwarves little by little

(I was a bit irritated by the fact that the T in "with" was missing...)

Ah indeed it is!

Also well done getting it with the missing t sorry about that.

Thank you!

"---/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ----/ --/ ---/ -----/ ---/ ---/ -------/ --/ ---/ -----/; ---/ --------/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ----/ --/ ---/ ------/ -----/ --/ ---/ ----/ ---l/ ------/ ----/ ---/ ---/."

Well assuming that’s an L left behind and not the punctuation might as well fill the rest in L

I feel like I always start with vowels so...T

LT (the "left behind L" was only a typo :o sorry)

"--t/ l---/ --t/ t--/ --ll/ t--/ ----/ --/ t--/ -----/ ---/ t--/ -------/ --/ t--/ ----t/; ---/ --------/ t--t/ t--/ t---/ ----/ --/ t--/ --l---/ l--t-/ --/ t--/ ---t/ ---/ ----t-/ ----/ t--/ ---/."

“Too well the”?

Possibly.

I’ll take H and see if we can break out the Thes.

HLT

"--t/ l---/ --t/ t--/ --ll/ th-/ ----/ --/ th-/ -----/ ---/ th-/ -------/ --/ th-/ h---t/; ---/ --------/ th-t/ th-/ t---/ h---/ --/ th-/ --l---/ l--th/ --/ th-/ ---t/ ---/ ----th/ ----/ th-/ ---/."

Hmmm nothing’s shaking loose in the old noggin. W?

I know strands of words but can’t connect them.

O

More vowels needed

A?

I did A yesterday, Morsul

E!

Love not too well thy work of thy hands and the devices of thy heart; and remember that the true hope of the Noldor lieth in the West, and cometh from the Sea.

Ulmo to Turgon, Silmarillion

I don't know what the first word is, since it's not in my copy.

It was hard because the does not equal thy

that's the one, well done Blind Guardian! :)

The sentence in my edition starts with: "But love not too well the work of thy hands..."

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

Let's start with T !

I really really want to take this down with no letters. “, **,” is the key. I’ve plugged in every two letter word that makes sense between two commas but can’t find anything.

Fine I’ll try the old fashioned way.

E

"---t --- ---t- -- ------ -ee-, -- t---e- t--- t-ee-, --, -- -t --e-, --- -et -e-e- -----?"

Quite simple really a mountain.

O please!

What has roots as nobody sees,
Is taller than trees, Up, up it goes, And yet never grows ?


A mountain Gollum’s riddle

Ah it was close enough. I like how you didn't post the actual quote for 10 hours.

TWO semicolons in this one. Hm.

Let's mix things up a little and start with a W.
