Hi there! Welcome! Here is the song: "The Lay of Gil-Galad" as quoted by my fave little hobbit:

Quote:

Suddenly a low voice murmured:
"Gil-Galad was an elven-king.
Of him the harpers sadly sing:
the last whose realm was fair and free
between the Mountains and the Sea.

His sword was long, his lance was keen,
his shining helm afar was seen;
the countless stars of Heaven's feild
were mirrored in his silver shield..

But long ago he rode away
and where he dwelleth none can say
for into darkness fell his star
in Mordor where the shadows are. "

The others turned in amazement, for the voice was Sam's.

Don´t worry ElfEarz! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Welcome to the 'Downs, mae govannen, happy posting and enjoy being dead! [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

To stay at least slightly on-topic, I have to say I really love the song about Gil-Galad, thanx for posting it Sam! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Samwise

You're most welcome,Eärendil. That song is one of my favorites that old Mr. Bilbo taught me, except for the parts about Mordor...

"Elves! " exclaimed Sam. "Elves, sir!" He would have burst out of the trees and dashed off, if they had not pulled him back.

Oooooh! That's the song in my sig!! [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img] But Samwise wrote it already, so whatever... [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
But we could turn this into a quote topic anyway... Can I start?? [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
If I wrote something from a song/poem, and you guys had to guess who sing it?

Quote:

The world was young, the mountains green,
No stain yet on the Moon was seen,
No words were laid on stream or stone,
When Durin woke and walked alone

It's an easy one with the last line [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

I'm so terrible at these things....Aragorn?

Quote:

Frodo crouching over his knees heard Sam muttering and groaning: "What a place! What a horrible place! Just let me out of this boat, and I'll never wet my toes in a puddle again, let alone a river! "

Now that I think about it....Legolas?

Quote:

Sam, who had been watching his master with great concern, shook his head and muttered: "Plain as pikestaff it is, but it's no good Sam Gamgee putting in his spoke just now. "

Melephelwen

07-21-2002 03:30 AM

Nope. [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]: Small hint: it's in FotR [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Samwise

07-21-2002 03:41 PM

Uh, booy....ok, it's about Durin, so....Gimli or Gloin? AGH--next time I'm actually LOOKING in the book. [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Quote:

Sam frowned, and looked at his master; and at last he broke out:
"With your leave, Mr. Frodo, I'd say no! This Strider here, he warns and he says take care; and I say yes to that, and let's begin with him. He comes out of the wild, and I never heard no good of such folk. He knows something, that's plain, and more than I like; but it's no reason why we should let him go leading us out into some dark place far from help, as he puts it. "

Kaze	07-21-2002 03:47 PM

Ack, Samwise, you beat me to it! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I'm pretty sure it was Gimli.

Kaze: i am scared of ur sig. im just kidding, but math can be scarier than anything that you can pull out of Tolkien's writings.
OK, i got a tough one here:

Quote:

Courage is found in unlikely places. Be of good hope! Sleep now! In the morning we shall be gone; but we will spread our messages though the land.

A hint: This is from on of the scenes in FOTR that didn't make it to the big screen.

Kaze	07-21-2002 11:12 PM

That was Gildor! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

And don't worry, my sig scares me, too! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] All math is scary.

Aw, dang it, i thought that one was tough.

Here's one:

Quote:

The way to Minas Tirith lies upon this side, upon the west; but the straight road of the Quest lies east of the River, upon the darker shore.

07-23-2002 02:48 PM

is it said by . . . Boromir ???

Kaze	07-23-2002 03:23 PM

Nope, but here's a hint: It was said in the chapter "Farewell to Lorien"

Eärendil

07-24-2002 03:09 AM

I think it was...Celeborn?

Melephelwen

07-24-2002 06:02 AM

Galadriel?

Kaze	07-24-2002 10:32 AM

It was Celeborn, Eärendil got it right.

Eärendil

07-25-2002 11:03 AM

Yay! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Okay, a new one then:
"I felled the black serpent. A grim morn, and a glad day, and a golden sunset!"

Samwise

07-25-2002 12:18 PM

Errr.......I want to say Turin, but I know that's not right..... [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Theoden just before he dies.

Eowyn got it right! Well done. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Your turn.

this may be too hard, but perhaps not [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
"...to find and to lose..."

Samwise

07-26-2002 01:44 PM

http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/confused4.gif Oooy...surely this isn't right, but maybe if folks guess enough, we'll whittle it down.
Frodo? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/confused4.gif

Quote:

Sam sat silent and said no more. He had a good deal to think about. For one thing, there was a lot to do up in the Bag End garden, and he would have a busy day tomorrow, if the weather cleared. The grass was growing fast. But Sam had more on his mind than gardening. After a while he sighed, and got up and went out.

07-27-2002 04:45 AM

it's one of the fellowship [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] but not Frodo

Samwise

07-27-2002 08:11 PM

Erm.....Aragorn? http://www.plauder-smilies.de/sad/confused5.gif

Quote:

"What did I tell you, Mr. Pippin?" said Sam, sheathing his sword. "Wolves won't get him. That was an eye-opener, and no mistake! Nearly singed the hair off my head! "

Eowyn of Ithilien

07-28-2002 04:15 AM

not Aragorn...it's part of a conversation between best friends, if that helps

charly

07-28-2002 09:18 AM

Wait... Gimli leaving Lorien? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

Eowyn of Ithilien

07-28-2002 09:37 AM

well the place is right...and since it's so late (early?) and I can't be certain whether it's Legolas or Gimli (but I'm leaning to the former) I'll give it to you [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

charly

07-28-2002 11:30 AM

Cool, Thanx.
Anyway, here goes:
"That Gandalf Greyhame has need of haste"answerd tell-me-who." Ever he goes and comes unlooked for"

08-05-2002 10:39 AM

OK, I know it was a man of Rohan...I don't think it was Theoden or Eomer...was it like a doorwarden or something?

KAZE!!!! Are you aka KAIZ?? You must know who I am if so! Hi!

charly

08-07-2002 08:42 AM

Doorwarden´s correct...remeber his name? Well, I´ll give you this one.(BTW His name was Hama)

charly

09-18-2002 01:35 PM

Ummm... I know I shoudn´t really do this, but since nobody´s been posting a qoute for,like ages, I´ll just do it. Whoever´s turn it was, DO NOT be offended... just wanted this game getting goin´ again.

That's OK...Love the signature...have no idea who said that...

BTW: anyone know Kaze?

charly

10-05-2002 10:03 AM

Too hard?! Okay, I´ll give you a hint: It´s in RotK and it´s not a member of the fellowship talking.
Now, that shoudn´t be to hard.... you try.

Oooh! Ok, I'm gonna join in now with a very off-shot guess.

I think it was Denethor, but I can't put my finger on when he died..ouch...

charly

10-05-2002 02:46 PM

Nope, not Denethor

Salix

10-05-2002 04:01 PM

Dang! I know in what context it's spoken but I can't remember who! [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img] For some reason I keeop thinking of Eowyn...
