His head was higher than the helm of kings
with heathen crowns, his heart keener
and his soul clearer than swords of heroes
polished and proven: than plated gold
his worth was greater.

Who, to whom, about whom

Halbarad · 11-05-2001, 06:22 PM

I have no idea. I haven't read home yet

Telchar · 11-09-2001, 08:04 AM

Im clueless but it sounds like it is about Elendil

Joy · 02-28-2002, 11:01 PM

H-I, It almost sounds like a quote from Sir Gawain and the Green Knight. But, would you go that route??? [img]smilies/confused.gif[/img]

Bruce MacCulloch · 03-01-2002, 12:35 AM

Are you sure it isn't HoME?
It sounds suspiciously Lays-ish.

HerenIstarion · 03-01-2002, 02:27 AM

It ain't Sir Gawain and ain't HoME, yet Joy is on the right path

Joy · 03-02-2002, 11:34 PM

H-I, a hint, por favor!!!! I have wracked my brain over this! HELP!!!

HerenIstarion · 03-05-2002, 03:32 AM

well, the one whom the verse speaks of was historical person

Joy · 03-06-2002, 04:12 AM

I know that Tolkien wrote of Beowulf in The Monsters and the Critics. So I now guess that it could be Beowulf. I am going to have to get that book now.

HerenIstarion · 03-06-2002, 05:39 AM

nay, but closer

Joy · 03-08-2002, 11:03 PM

SAID BY TORHTHELM TO TIDWALD ABOUT BEORHTNOTH, BEORTHELM'S SON, WHO IS DEAD.

SORRY ABOUT THE CAPS-LOCK. THE KEY IS STUCK. I'LL HAVE TO SEE IF I CAN FIX IT.

Joy · 03-08-2002, 11:16 PM

Sorry about that. The quote is from The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth.

Man, that was a good on H-I!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

It took me forever. When you said Beowulf was closer. I took a look at that name. I remembered that I read somewhere that Beorn, from the Hobbit, was closed related to Beowulf in meaning - Something like Bee wolf and Bee.

I started to look though his bibliograph and noted The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth. I found it online at Beorhtnoth.

As I read it, I came across some of my favorite tales, Sir Gawain, Beowulf and the Battle of Maldon.

Hey, thanks for making me dig, I was reunited with some of the classics because of that.

HerenIstarion · 03-09-2002, 02:19 AM

The pleasure was all mine

absolutely correct, go ahead

Btw, nice number of posts you have right now - 333

Joy · 03-09-2002, 02:39 AM

Who said this and to whom?

Quote:

Come forth, O monstruous craven lord,
and fight with thine own hand and sword,
thou wielder of hosts of banded thralls,
thou tyrant leaguered with strong walls,
thou foe of Gods and elvish race!
I wait thee here. Come! Show thy face!'

Very good Eowny, your turn.

Eowyn of Ithilien · 03-09-2002, 06:30 PM

Far over the misty mountains cold
To dungeons deep and caverns old
We must away ere break of day,
To find our long-forgotten gold.

Whose song is this:

Quote:

There daffodils amoung the ordered trees
Did nod in Spring, and men laughed deep and long
Singing as they laboured happy lays
And lighting even with a drinking song.

[ March 13, 2002: Message edited by: Joy ]

Joy · 03-15-2002, 12:37 AM

Anybody???? Need a clue. It is in HoME.

Joy · 03-18-2002, 01:46 PM

Anyone? I know someone here can find this one!

HerenIstarion · 03-19-2002, 01:09 AM

That's Eriol chanting about his journey to Lonelt Isle:

Quote:

In unknown days my fathers' sires
Came, and from son to son took root
Among the orchards and the river-meads
And the long grasses of the fragrant plain:
Many a summer saw they kindle yellow fires
Of flaglilies among the bowing reeds,
And many a sea of blossom turn to golden fruit
In walled gardens of the great champain.
There daffodils among the ordered trees
Did nod in spring, and men laughed deep and long
Singing as they laboured happy lays
And lighting even with a drinking-song

and so on

Joy · 03-19-2002, 01:10 PM

Finnaly!!! YEAH!!!! Your turn.

HerenIstarion · 03-21-2002, 09:16 AM

well, due to the law of undulation, next one will be easy :

Quote:

Sing all ye joyful, now sing all together?
The wind's in the free-top, the wind's in the heather;
The stars are in blossom, the moon is in flower,
And bright are the windows of Night in her tower.
Dance all ye joyful, now dance all together!
Soft is the grass, and let foot be like feather!
The river is silver, the shadows are fleeting;
Merry is May-time, and merry our meeting.

Sing we now softly, and dreams let us weave him!
Wind him in slumber and there let us leave him!
The wanderer sleepeth. Now soft be his pillow!
Lullaby! Lullaby! Alder and Willow!

Sigh no more Pine, till the wind of the morn!
Fall Moon! Dark be the land!
Hush! Hush! Oak, Ash, and Thorn!
Hushed be all water, till dawn is at hand

alaklondewen · 03-21-2002, 09:58 AM

Is it what the Elves of Rivendell sang to BIlbo on his quest? There were singing outside of his window.

THis one will be easy:

Quote:

Sing hey! for the bath at close of day
that washes the weary mud away!
A loon is he that will not sing:
O! Water Hot is a noble thing!

O! Sweet is the sound of falling rain,
and the brook that leaps from hill to plain;
but better than rain or rippling streams
is Water Hot that smokes and steams.

Lostgaeriel · 03-22-2002, 02:08 PM

Yeah, this one is very easy. I resisted answering for a day to let the newbies have a chance to play. But...

It was Pippin singing one of Bilbo's favourite bath-songs at the house in Crickhollow. Funny how fears of Black Riders disappear when you're splashing in the tub. "Rubber Ducky, you're the one..." [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Good job! Got anything up your sleeve??

Lostgaeriel · 03-22-2002, 06:09 PM

Yeah, I hope this counts as an incantation, song or verse - it's a riddle I guess. Not too hard.

Quote:

Ere iron was found or tree was hewn,
When young was mountain under moon;
Ere ring was made, or wrought was woe,
It walked the forests long ago.

alaklondewen · 03-22-2002, 07:34 PM

THe Ents!! (Treebeard is one of my favorite ME dwellers)

Okay, who sang about who?

An Elven-maid there was of old,
A shining star by day:
Her mantle white was hemmed with gold,
Her shoes of silver-grey.

Lostgaeriel · 03-22-2002, 07:54 PM

Great alaklondewen! That was the easy part. But who said it (and to whom, and where and when)? The original thread, "encantations... ?" required "who + all the circumstances".

[ March 22, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ]

Lostgaeriel · 03-22-2002, 08:13 PM

Hi again alaklondewen! While I'm waiting for you to answer mine, I'll answer yours! That's Legolas singing the "song of the maiden Nimrodel, who bore the same name as the stream beside which she lived long ago. ... It is long and sad, for it tells how sorrow came upon Lothlórien, Lórien of the Blossom, when the Dwarves awakened evil in the mountains."

alaklondewen · 03-22-2002, 08:26 PM

Please accept my apologies, Lostgaeriel! Gandalf said

Quote:

Ere iron was found or tree was hewn

. He said it to King Theoden, I believe, after Helm's Deep, when the enemy was driven into the "army of trees". King Theoden thought it was some kind of "magic" of Gandalf's.

Is all of that right?

Son of Númenor · 06-24-2004, 07:59 AM

Sorry about the lateness. Here's a nice one:

Quote:

And O! the row of silver dishes
and the store of silver spoons!
For Sunday there's a special pair,
And these they polish up with care
on Saturday afternoons.

HerenIstarion · 06-25-2004, 03:19 AM

The song Frodo sings in the Prancing Pony (cow jumped over the moon, that lot), just before slipping and disappearing

Son of Númenor · 06-25-2004, 09:50 AM
