Please accept my apologies, Lostgaeriel! Gandalf said

Quote:

Ere iron was found or tree was hewn

. He said it to King Theoden, I believe, after Helm's Deep, when the enemy was driven into the "army of trees". King Theoden thought it was some kind of "magic" of Gandalf's.

Is all of that right?

Sorry about the lateness. Here's a nice one:

And O! the row of silver dishes
and the store of silver spoons!
For Sunday there's a special pair,
And these they polish up with care
on Saturday afternoons.

The song Frodo sings in the Prancing Pony (cow jumped over the moon, that lot), just before slipping and disappearing

That was too easy.

sort of

but I'll play nasty in my turn:

We knew that land once, You and I,
and once we wandered there
in the long days now long gone by,
a dark child and a fair.
Was it on the paths of firelight thought
in winter cold and white,
or in the blue-spun twilit hours
of little early tucked-up beds
in drowsy summer night,
that you and I in Sleep went down
to meet each other there,
your dark hair on your white nightgown
and mine was tangled fair?

The Little House of Lost Play, sir.

Pray take it over
