			"Go back?” he thought. “No good at all!  Go sideways? Impossible! Go forward? Only thing to do! On we go!" Bilbo, having come to under the Misty Mountains, and shortly to meet Gollum.

			Nice! That was quick. I was leaning toward a Bombadil quote based on the structure.

			Could I just clarify ... 1. I believe the quotation has to be a speech? 2. Can it be a part of a speech, if the whole speech is a long one? 3. The first post of the thread says answers must be LOTR-related, but I saw one recently from (I think) The Silmarillion, and the last one was from The Hobbit. From which works can I choose?

			Can be a couple sentences from a speech, from any of the "canon" (avoid things like HOME). As for needing a speech as opposed to text, I think that has been the unspoken rule. But I think if you have a good recognizable text passage it would work too.

			As far as I remember, I have only posted a puzzle once before in this thread; a long time ago, when I didn't realise it had to be from a speech, and people weren't very happy that it wasn't.   Thanks for the info re. works, though. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ _ _ _ ! / _ _ _ /_ _ _'_ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ _ _ / _ _ _ _ / _ / _ _ _ _ ?
