Answer:

There was a flare of livid lightnings: forks of blue flame springing up from the tower and from the encircling hills into the sullen clouds.

Assuming that terr---e/ E--e-/ stands for Terrible Elves, and with a strong suspicion as for Ta--/ -e-/ --t-/ ----/ ---r--/ hiding Tall men with long swords underneath all its -'s and /'s, I can't help assuming that Gollum spake unto Frodo and Sam, in Dead Marshes, for Dagorlad and old battle stories were what his Granny told him before his sleep. Poor Smeagol, such a trauma, to be told (I suppose, with impersonating faces all along) about all that violence in his gentle years. No wonder he grew up to become Gollum...

Having said assumption, I'm all but forced to check the guess, and have the following:

Quote:

Tall Men with long swords, and terrible Elves, and Orcses shrieking. They fought on the plain for days and months at the Black Gates. But the Marshes have grown since then, swallowed up the graves; always creeping, creeping
creepy, creepy stuff...

ahem, no need to applause, no need, I know I'm da guesser-outta thingy here

;)

luthien-elvenprincess 12-06-2004 05:42 PM

Aha!
Quote:

But when the wolf came for Beren, Felagund put forth all his power, and burst his bonds; and he wrestled with the werewolf, and slew it with his hands and teeth; yet he himself was wounded to the death.

Nilpaurion Felagund 12-13-2004 02:34 AM

Yes, it is.
