Now it's obvious!

Quote:

But we shall meet again one day,
and rich reward then you shall pay,
whate'er I ask: it may be gold,
it may be other wealth you hold.
The Corrigan speaking to Aotrou.

Guinevere 12-15-2006 03:24 AM

Yes, that's it! :)

Estelyn Telcontar 12-15-2006 08:08 AM

Here's one that seems appropriate:
Quote:

'--- ---- --- -----!' ..... '---- -- --------- -- ------, ---. -- ----------. --- ------- --- ---- ---- --! -- ---- -- ---- -- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---------.'

Tuor in Gondolin 12-16-2006 01:59 PM

"r"s, please.

Guinevere 12-17-2006 08:33 AM

and O please, if any!

The Might 12-17-2006 09:58 AM

I'd take an S if possible.

Estelyn Telcontar 12-17-2006 12:23 PM

...a R O S by any other name...
 
'-o- ---- o-- ----s!' ..... '--s- -s --r-s---s -s -o----, -oo. So s--so-----. -o- ----s-- --- ---- ---- --! -- ---- -- ---- -o ---- R--- ---- ---s --r-s---s.'

Estelyn Telcontar 12-18-2006 01:30 PM

Guinevere 12-18-2006 03:22 PM

C's please (two of them capital C's ;) )

The Might 12-18-2006 03:28 PM

`How like old times!' they said. `Just as Christmas is coming, too. So seasonable. How pleased the King will be! He will be able to have Real Tail this Christmas.'
JRR Tolkien - Farmer Giles of Ham

I have a question also. May we choose a quote from any of Tolkien's writings, or is there a specific topic ?

Estelyn Telcontar 12-19-2006 02:38 AM

Well done, The Might, and welcome to a thread that seems to be dominated by German language members! ;) (Guinevere's location tells you where she lives; mine is currently Christmas-themed, but I live in Germany, even in NRW, like you!) Tuor, who started the thread, is the only regular who doesn't speak German. :)

This thread is reserved for Tolkien's minor works; the list of works we've used in is the first post, but I'll post it here for convenience:

We have included The Homecoming, since we have it in the book Tree and Leaf, but haven't yet used the Father Christmas Letters. I do have that book, so if others do as well, we could include those. In addition, several of us have a copy of Tolkien's poem The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, so we occasionally use that. Oh, and we have used Tolkien's lecture 'On Fairy-Stories' and the poem 'Mythopoeia', since both are also in Tree and Leaf, but not often.

Please let us know which books and stories you have; we'll be happy to choose from the list so that you can participate regularly! It's your turn to post a new one now.

The Might 12-19-2006 07:12 AM

I have Roverandom, Farmer Giles, Adventures of Tom Bombadil, Leaf by Niggle, and the Father Christmas Letters. Anyway, I intend to purchase the missing works sometime soon, so no need to not use all of them in this thread.

Anyway, new one:
`-- ---'-- ---- -- - -----, ---'- -- ------- ---- -----. -- --- ---- -- ---- -- ----, ---'-- ---- - --- ----.'

Estelyn Telcontar 12-19-2006 10:06 AM

That's Farmer Giles, speaking to the King.

The Might 12-21-2006 12:25 PM

correct ;)

Estelyn Telcontar 12-21-2006 12:35 PM

Here's a new one:

The holiday weekend may interrupt us, but that's OK - we'll keep going whenever we happen to have time, or afterwards.
