Question Danke schön!

My quote is not a proverb in the context of its story, but, taken outside of it, it looks wise.

Enedwaith, hier ist es:
I will speak, when I have looked and thought longer.

Tolkien Hintses.

It's in the Unfinished Tales. The speaker and the spoken-to are both mortals.

The Eye I'm sorry, no.

The setting for this scene did not exist by Meneldur's time.

And I think that's another hint.

Legolas to the other hunters, then. (It would seem that Gimli's not real big on clichés...)

Edit: Hey, I actually found it tonight. Legolas did say it, in The Riders of Rohan.

Thumbs up right!

It was when Aldarion stayed with them, but he was restless and did not speak of the wedding. Erendis, though troubled by his behaviour, said nothing. That's when Nuneth said this (I don't know if to Erendis or to herself...)
