Quote:

[Tar-Meneldur: ]To prepare for war, which is yet only guessed: train craftsmen and tillers in the midst of peace for bloodspilling and battle: put iron in the hands of greedy captains who will love only conquest, and count the slain as their glory? Will they say to Eru: At least your enemies were amongst them? (UT II 2)
We seem to be getting a lot from UT.

Tuor of Gondolin 07-29-2004 08:52 PM

That's it. I'd like to have done more of the quote but it's rather long.
An interesting case of Tolkien noting moral/ethical complexities.

Nilpaurion Felagund 07-30-2004 09:35 PM

Here's mine.

The Perky Ent 08-02-2004 11:37 AM

We also wants a "m"

Estanesse 08-02-2004 04:05 PM

Is this the quote your looking for? :)

Quote:

but when Elendil fell, Isildur departed to take up the high kingship of his father,
and committed the rule in the South in like manner to the son of his brother.
