Tídwald to Torhthelm:
"Aye, that's the battle for you, and no worse today than wars you sing of, when Fróda fell, and Finn was slain. The world wept then, as it weeps today: you can hear the tears through the harp's twanging. . ." "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth, Beorhthelm's Son" - The Tolkien Reader [ April 16, 2003: Message edited by: Envinyatar ]

My mistake! That quote above was from BoLT II, The History of Eriol, and not form The List, which I am putting here to remind myself and any others who might join:
Farmer Giles of Ham The Adventures of Tom Bombadil Leaf by Niggle Smith of Wootton Major On Fairy Stories Mythopoeia The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son Sir Gawain and the Green Knight Father Christmas Letters The Monsters and the Critics Roverandom The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun A Secret Vice _____________________________________________ And here's a more acceptable offering: He bewitched a piece off somebody's window curtains . . .

That's the Man in the Moon to Rover, concerning Artaxerxes' trousers, from Roverandom.

I should have thought it was a nice boy with a friendly grin, eh?!

I'm so glad this thread didn't die while I was gone! alaklondewen, can you give a little clue, so that I have an idea where to start searching for it?

Welcome back, Estelyn! The above quote is from a work that was not written in prose. It is also a rather obscure work.

That was a tough one, since it's from a very obscure work indeed! I finally found it:

Correct you are, Estelyn! It is one of my favorite 'minor' works by the professor. The board is now yours.

That was quite a tricky one, Esty! You had me rummaging to find it for quite a while. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
It was a little man, whose name he had forgotten that the Professor wrote of in "A secret Vice".

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] - Nice to have kept you busy for awhile, Bruce! You're right, of course, and therefore entitled to pose the next quote.

Well, what I thought it was it wasn't. Estelyn, would you mind giving us some kind of direction?
Thanks.

Nope, wrong story, Beren. I will gladly give a clue - the quote comes from a children's tale.

oh laziness imposed by the use of "find" option of MS Word! Both you esteemed lore masters (and mistresses) failed to notice that speaker named is wrong [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img], for it is Corrigan speaking and no other...
yet since the passage given is absolutely correct, I count it as a score and invite you to proceed [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

I thought you were talking about the Barrow-Downs forum, Squatter, but I found out that the quote has a different source! It's the seagull Mew, speaking to Roverandom of the Isle of Lost Dogs.
