This is driving me insane! It looks so familiar! Well, considering alaklondewen hasn't answered either, this must be a tough one for everyone. Perhaps you could fill in a couple blanks if no one gets it by tonight.

eleanor_niphredil 02-20-2003 02:27 PM

I'll give you a clue. Its in ROTK, and is someone talking about something that happened.

the phantom 02-20-2003 03:33 PM

"Green are those fields in the songs of my people; but they were dark then, grey wastes in the blackness before us. And over the wide land, trampling unheeded the grass and the flowers, we hunted our foes through a day and a night, until we came at the bitter end to the Great River at last."

That was a good one. Here's mine...

"____ ________," said _______, "the ____ is indeed ____, yet it was ____ even in ____ ___ when we ___ under the _____ _______ in the ______ of ______ where none ___ ____."

lord of dor-lomin 02-24-2003 03:40 PM

It looks familiar, but since no one's gotten it yet, how about a hint, phantom?

the phantom 02-25-2003 12:15 PM

A hint? Okay. Let's see if you get it now.

Aragorn said it.

elven maiden Earwen 02-25-2003 02:55 PM

Lady Undomiel, said Aragorn, the hour is indeed hard,yet it was made even in the day when we met under the birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk.

the phantom 02-25-2003 04:11 PM

You left out a word! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Try again!

elven maiden Earwen 02-25-2003 04:36 PM

Lady Undomiel, said Aragorn, the hour is indeed hard,yet it was made even in the day when we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk.

Guinevere 02-26-2003 02:09 PM

Oh, I know it! It's so close to the one before... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the sea."

Guinevere 03-28-2003 04:36 PM

This is too difficult for me! And since no one else seems to be able to guess it either, it would be nice if you could give somemore clues... [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img] Thank you!

Tinuviel the Nightingale 03-29-2003 01:03 AM

Yes, this one is very hard a hint would be apprectiated.

Airehiriel 04-28-2003 12:17 PM

Legolas, can we have a hint? Or should someone else continue on?

Legolas 05-20-2003 01:59 PM

It's about our furry-footed friends.

Said by Legolas about Merry and Pippin, on the edge of Fangorn Forest. TTT

Finwe 06-16-2003 12:16 PM

Wow that was amazing!

The Saucepan Man 07-02-2003 02:51 PM

Earwen, it would be better to PM Legolas rather than posting here as, being a busy mod, he might very well not see your post.

In any event, it looks very much to me as if Gilraen is correct and, since I believe that she is away for a few weeks, I would suggest that anyone may now post a new question. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl 07-07-2003 01:08 PM

It certainly has been a while since the last quote, so I think I'll jump in and post a new one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

'____,' he answered, 'you are not yet ______, and I was _________ to tend you with ________ ____. You should not have _____ from your ___ for _____ days yet, or so I was ______. I ___ you to go ____.'
It might be a bit too easy even now, so I think I'll wait to post a hint.

~TolkienGurl

the phantom 07-07-2003 05:12 PM

'Lady,' he answered, 'you are not yet healed, and I was commanded to tend you with especial care. You should not have risen from your bed for seven days yet, or so I was bidden. I beg you to go back.'

TolkienGurl 07-07-2003 11:06 PM

Yes! Very good, phantom. Your turn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Was it too easy? Maybe I'm too soft on you guys... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the phantom 07-08-2003 11:00 PM

That's okay. I like easy ones (when I'm the one that gets them).

This can't be so difficult anymore..., or is just nobody looking at this thread? [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
