to take vengeance upon Morgoth, and regain what he stole

gilraën 06-01-2003 04:02 PM

Galadriel says it to Melian.

Beren87 06-01-2003 04:11 PM

Correct, oh wise word-smith.

gilraën 06-01-2003 04:23 PM

Thank-you, I take that as a 'real' compliment coming from you Beren. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I'll repost my quote from the other thread, I had missed this one first time round. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

Many are the strange chances of this world,

Guinevere 06-02-2003 01:06 AM

I can't resist answering that one... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

"Many are the strange chances of the world," said Mithrandir, "and help oft shall come from the hands of the weak when the Wise falter."

Mithrandir said it to Elrond at the first White Council, in "Of the rings of power"

gilraën 06-02-2003 12:10 PM

Correct [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn.

Guinevere 06-02-2003 04:29 PM

Thank you, Gilraën. Now for a new quote...*sigh*.
Seves me right for popping in here, now I had to look through all those pages with the old quotes, so as not to repeat one of them!!

Either Amandil says it to Elendil or the other way round, I can't remember which, sorry. I'll look it up if needs be, or if I've got it completely wrong. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Guinevere 06-03-2003 09:03 AM

It is Amandil to Elendil,as you first said. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn again!

gilraën 06-03-2003 11:51 AM

Thanks.

That I do believe.

gilraën 06-04-2003 12:54 PM

Turin to Qwindor?

Guinevere 06-04-2003 03:18 PM

Exactly! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Correct Phantom [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

the phantom 06-08-2003 01:33 PM

I started reading The Silmarillion to my mother a few days ago, so that quote was fresh in my mind.
Quote:

My mind is now set, lord

gilraën 06-08-2003 04:05 PM

I had to check this one in the book, it's Haleth to Caranthir. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

the phantom 06-08-2003 04:07 PM

Yes [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

the law is become less

the phantom 06-08-2003 04:58 PM

I don't have my book, but I think that's Maeglin to Hurin and Huor.

gilraën 06-08-2003 05:16 PM

Indeed it is [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Your turn.

the phantom 06-08-2003 07:16 PM

Thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

further counsel I cannot give

gilraën 06-09-2003 12:13 AM

Huan to Beren.

Quote:

Then for the second time Huan spoke with words; and he counselled Beren, saying: 'From the shadow of death you can no longer save Lúthien, for by her love she is now subject to it. You can turn from your fate and lead her into exile, seeking peace in vain while your life lasts. But if you will not deny your doom, then either Lúthien, being forsaken, must assuredly die alone, or she must with you challenge the fate that lies before you--hopeless, yet not certain. Further counsel I cannot give, nor may I go further on your road. But my heart forebodes that what you find at the Gate I shall myself see. All else is dark to me; yet it may be that our three paths lead back to Doriath, and we may meet before the end.'

It is indeed unhappy,

Guinevere 06-09-2003 02:54 PM

Miriel to Finwë ?

gilraën 06-09-2003 04:19 PM

It sure was [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Guinevere 06-10-2003 01:54 PM

Thanks!
Quote:

Nonetheless, I will wield it while I may"

gilraën 06-10-2003 02:00 PM

It's said about Anglachel. But I can't remember which 'wielder' says it. So I'll guess Turin.

the phantom 06-10-2003 06:23 PM

Beleg

Guinevere 06-11-2003 02:16 AM

It is about Anglachel, Gilraën, but the Phantom got the right "wielder": it was indeed Beleg, speaking to Melian when she warned him about the sword.

Your turn, Phantom! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

the phantom 06-11-2003 02:37 PM

I kind of feel bad about that one, Gil. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
Quote:

is it not made void
(don't have my book now, wording may be teensy bit off, but hope it's right)

gilraën 06-11-2003 04:33 PM

Don't feel bad, I didn't check it, trusting to memory. I'll live to guess another time [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I checked this time though.

Quote:

Yet Maglor still held back, saying: 'If Manwë and Varda themselves deny the fulfilment of an oath to which we named them in witness, is it not made void?'

the phantom 06-11-2003 10:09 PM

good job [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

gilraën 06-12-2003 12:32 AM

Thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

But what shall I do now, so that thou be not angry with me for ever?

the phantom 06-12-2003 06:16 AM

Aule to Iluvatar

gilraën 06-12-2003 01:43 PM

Of course [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
