Yes, that was something of a wild stab in the dark. This, however, is not. It's Ereinion Gil-Galad, in a letter to Meneldur, king of Númenor. He is speaking of Aldarion and the rising shadow of Sauron in the East.

Right! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
(btw I was thrilled when I first read UT and saw Gil-Galad's letter: at last a bit more about that legendary but mysterious character... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] but unfortunately it didn't go on [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img] )

Yes, Tolkien did have an annoying habit of leaving his audience hungry for more. It's nice to see a little of Gil-Galad in his own words, nonetheless.

Whose words of wisdom are these?

Catchup in UT Quotes Game

This is a pasteover from the old forum, so I can continue here. (I'm also pasting Guinevere's quote question):
question: Thanks! I hope this one is not too short:
Quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Go! Go now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My answer: Elendur to Isildur in "The Disaster of the Gladden Fields" as they are beset by Orcs.
Cheers,
Lyta

Guinevere's response: Yes, well done, Lyta!
(btw, since when are you a haunted halfling? I've only noticed it now. Somehow reminiscent of poor Frodo...)

OK! Now that I've got all that done, hopefully I haven't broken any rules! Gotta find a new UT quote! Here I go!

Quote:
...his heart had some deep premonition beyond his waking thought.
And thanks for the comment on my "Haunted Halfling" status Guinevere! However, I seem to have lost it again!

Cheers,
Lyta

That would be about Gandalf, and how he felt towards the "little people". The hobbits of course. Say, I always thought that a "quote" should be something someone says or thinks.
Am I right?

Gee, Mariska, you've uncovered the flaw in my quote! It isn't a quote! But it is Gandalf, so the floor is yours! from Concerning Gandalf, Saruman and the Shire:
Quote:
For indeed in the beginning it had no such connexion, and was due only to Gandalf's love for the Little People, unless his heart had some deep premonition beyond his waking thought.
I had a strange feeling I was doing something wrong there! Thanks for pointing out something I should have seen much earlier!

Cheers,
Lyta

No, wait, that was in LOTR, said by Denethor.

*dives for a copy of UT*

Be right back!

Maybe in conversation between Thorin and Olorin?

The thing happens. I for myself used to forget encrypted 'backward/another way round/quote that was not' thingies, so now I have a special file for it, where I memorize things I ask. Quite a handy practice, mostly recommended

next one:
