It's been nearly two months. Time for hint. It's in book 5.

Having been led to it by the nose, g, I can say with confidence that the speaker was Beregond, and the place was a street within sight of the citadel in Minas Tirith. This is a favorite section of mine, too, but I was too lazy to look up the quote until now.

Well, I just tuned in and it appears I missed this oppurtunity by just four short days. Oh well, yes, I found the quote, too, before venturing to read Mister Underhill's answer, which was on a different page than the quote. He is by all means correct. It was Beregond speaking to Pippin of how much Pippin had eaten that day and why. A cup of wine and a white cake or two, if I'm not mistaken.

I do hope you go ahead and post another quote soon, Mister Underhill, it is now your turn. Although I realize you might want to wait for the go-ahead from galpsi, but let's keep this ball rolling if you don't get it soon. I am excited for the next quote! <img src=laugh.gif ALT=":lol">

First it languished seven weeks, thenare two claimants on one day. Go figure. Yes MU, it most assuredly was Beregond. Ask us!

Who is the speaker, and to whom does he or she refer?

I finally grew tired of looking for this one. So I will just take a guess, and if that helps someone get it, well all the better and on to the next quote!

Could it have been Gandalf speaking of the Ents?

Surely the subject is the Rangers of the North, the Dunedain. I take the speaker to be Gandalf, but I can't quite remember where.

Good guesses, both - but longer even than they, according to some sources. There aren't too many options left. Anyone want one last try?

I was discussing this with the Wight in the Chat room, and I think my memory has been jogged. I reckon the speaker was Tom Bombadil, when he gave the blades of Westernesse to the hobbits.

A clue may be in order here, since I think this could prove difficult to track down. The speaker belonged to the Company of the Ring.

<img src="http://www.barrowdowns.com/images/posticons/sting.jpg" align=absmiddle> Sorry guy's

I in my wanderings incounterd some &quot;distractions&quot; ( I was attact by a marauding bands of orks, then trolls,and wolves. I fled for my life. They pursued me for days until I reached the outskits of Mirkwood. Thinking it my last hope I dove in. I was, however, far from any path at the time, and of course I got lost. After wandering for some time I found myself hopeless in a direstate. I was hungery but it was nothing to my terrible thirst. I kept walking, however, knowing that stopping would be the death of me. After what seemed a long time I heard something in the dead silence that soronded me. Water! The sound of running water. I ran to it half mad, which of course made me forget that the only water source in the wood was the enchanted stream. I dived in head first. Well the rest is pretty obvious. Luck was with me though and it jusst happend that a friendly wizard was passing and was able to revive me and restore all my memorys. Or did he?) So it is that I am so late in replying to you Mister Underhill please exept my humblest apologies.

And here, at last, is your Quote
&quot;And yet come to naught in the end but might-have-beens, I guess,&quot;

I am... hm ... I am ... ... ok, it does not matter

Next quote will be:

Farewell sweet earth and northern sky,
for ever blest, since here did lie
and here with lissom limbs did run
beneath the Moon, beneath the Sun,
Lúthien Tinúviel
more fair than mortal tongue can tell.
Though all to ruin fell the world
and were dissolved and backward hurled
unmade into the old abyss,
yet were its making good, for this-
the dusk, the dawn, the earth, the sea-
that Lúthien for a time should be.

Another song:

&quot;Silver flow the streams from Celos to Erui
In the green fields of Lebennin!
Tall grows the grass there. In the wind from the Sea
The white lilies sway,
And the golden bells are shaken of mallos and alfirin
In the green fields of Lebennin,
In the wind from the Sea!&quot;

We'll have a song contest, than

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate;
And though I oft have passed them by,
A day will come at last when I
Shall take the hidden paths that run
West of the Moon, East of the Sun.

Hmm...Maybe we should start a thread...&quot;The Amazing Song Contest...&quot; I can see the adverts now. At first that looks to be one of Bilbo's Road songs, but after checking...Frodo, on the road to the Grey Havens with Sam.

Correct, though I expexted you to answer with:

A! Elbereth Gilthoniel!
silivren penna míriel
o menel aglar elenath,
Gilthoniel, A! Elbereth!
We still remember, we who dwell
In this far land beneath the trees
The starlight on the Western Seas.

Of the Amazing Song Contest and Its Continuation

Very true, but that ingenious possibility escaped me at the time - as you can see I am a man of limited mind, scope and creativity and should therefore be condemned forever in the Nothingness passing my time playing chess with Morgoth... <img src=devil.gif ALT=":evil"> Ahem, anyway, here is the next song -
<blockquote>Quote:<hr> &quot;Long live the Halflings! Praise them with great praise!
Cuio i Pheriain anann! Aglar'ni Pheriannath!
