Another Way Round

[The Saucepan Man]

Ace.

Logic rotted my sprightly head
Which underground was lucky to remain;
But back I ambled, weak with feet of lead,
To cower from shadows darkening.
Avoiding tangled mountains o’er Goblin caves
He approached heavily with clumsy head,
But stayed to keep me company yet to remain
Oblivious to the uproarious peaks.

[HerenIstarion]

Enchantment healed his weary feet
That over hills were doomed to roam;
And forth he hastened, strong and fleet,
And grasped at moonbeams glistening.
Through woven woods in Elvenhome
She tightly fled on dancing feet,
And left him lonely still to roam
In the silent forest listening.

[The Saucepan Man]

Oui. D'accord. Allez, H-I.

[HerenIstarion]

next one, than:

The President over the oakery
The President of molten fat
The servant of wooden bakery
Have gone from where he sat

His shoes have been downtrodden
His pipes've been snapped in two
His shack with flood was sodden
His creed gone to the blue

The desert filled his tillages
The sand mounts o'er the moon
Privation seized his villages
His lead is kept by loon

The lakes are dried in sorrow
The rivers're bleak and wet
All glee have gone from morrow
He's gone from where he sat!

[Lord of Angmar]

[

The King beneath the mountains,
The King of carven stone,
The lord of silver fountains
Shall come into his own!

His crown shall be upholden,
His harp shall be restrung,
His halls shall echo golden
To songs of yore re-sung.

The woods shall wave on mountains
And grass beneath the sun
His wealth shall flow in fountains
And the river golden run.

The streams shall run in gladness,
The lakes shall shine and burn,
All sorrow fail and sadness
At the Mountain-king's return!

[HerenIstarion]

Spot on Proceed

[Lord of Angmar]

Greetings they chant to snow and haze!
For fire won't crackle and hearth won't blaze,
They may just stay beyond this night
Far from home and out of sight.

From Dwarrowdelf, where none now dwell
To foggy forest o'er golden dell
In grass and glen they squat in rest
To their staying none protest.

No friends they've found, nor seek at last
Along hard ground they've swiftly passed
Abruptly was their leisure ended
Their anger roused, they were upended.

Now they respite, Now they respite,
They sit awaiting starry night.

========================
Excellent, er, 'reverse translation', H-I. I particularly enjoyed "The President of molten fat"!

[HerenIstarion]

and that was hobbit travel song:

Farewell we call to hearth and hall!
Though wind may blow and rain may fall,
We must away ere break of day
Far over wood and mountain tall.

To Rivendell, where Elves yet dwell
In glades beneath the misty fell,
Through moor and waste we ride in haste,
And whither then we cannot tell.

With foes ahead, behind us dread,
Beneath the sky shall be our bed,
Until at last our toil be passed,
Our journey done, our errand sped.

We must away! We must away!
We ride before the break of day!

[HerenIstarion]

Since I can safely bet on my previous answer to be correct, and following LoA's absence, with one week rule in mind, and not wishing for this thread to die out, pray be presented with the next quote:

Butterflies are already dead, though on an island over those pools, for I deduct it out of a fire

keenness of observation will help you more than anything in guessing it out

[Evisse the Blue]

Not to let this fade; I'm useless without my books, but surely others could use a hint.

[HerenIstarion]

As it was said, keennes of observation is the clue. Besides, I would recommend taking a look at the roots...

[HerenIstarion]

look at the first page

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Well, the original quote was on the first page of this thread, so all I had to do was find out who said it! It was Bilbo, speaking of Smaug when the dwarves and he had reached the Lonely Mountain.

The dragon is still alive and in the halls under the Mountain then - or I imagine so from the smoke

[HerenIstarion]

yes, that's correct Pray proceed

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Try this one:

'Do let go!' whispered her whale. 'They must have been courageous as a lion, as they feel different from many. There's not an ugly evening without much water current. Which is worse than swimming?'

[HerenIstarion]

What d'ya say? There is nothing better than swimming. Just got back from the pool, where I do spend my break hour an a half. It's refrshing, and tan looks good on me

However, when one talks about flying... certainly, warm bath, and cool pool more so, are better if one is given a choice:

"Don't pinch!" said his eagle. "You need not be frightened like a rabbit, even if you look rather like one. It is a fair morning with little wind. What is finer than flying?"

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Fast work, HI! Take it away...

[HerenIstarion]

Thanks

The following is rather thought, than spoken quote:

This has ruined all of the happiness she was out to

[HerenIstarion]

the person to think that to himself was trying to be decent, and mend some of the trouble his previous actions will have had caused to another person, also decent fellow and kind of heart

[wilwarin538]

Im probably way off but i`ll give it a chot

[QUOTE]That hasnt mended some of the sadness he was in.[/QUO

And if i am right I have no idea who said it, just wanted to try.

[HerenIstarion]

ah, welcome to our little coterie of pervert quoters wilwarin538

I'll try to hint further: the quoter (or meditator, rather, for the quote is thought out, rather than said aloud) is mortal, the one he thinks about is an immortal

[HerenIstarion]

The whole situation took place some decades prior to Frodo's birth

[HerenIstarion]

in The Hobbit

[Estelyn Telcontar]

That was Bilbo, speaking of the chief guard of the Elves as he replaced the keys he had used to free the Dwarves:

"That will save him some of the trouble he is in for," said Mr. Baggins to himself. "He wasn't a bad fellow, and quite decent to the prisoners."

[HerenIstarion]

correct go on

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Try this one:

When you saw definitely forbidden less seldomer, you were being relaxed.

[HerenIstarion]

'seldomer' gives it away

It was Sam:

'If I hear not allowed much oftener,' said Sam, 'I'm going to get angry.'

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Fast work, HI, and correct, of course. Go ahead.

[HerenIstarion]

thank you

next one:

Where did her skirt go? We do not let the nobility tearing silk off, even if they tear it up nicely!

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Ah, this is a quote I like! It's the Gaffer, who is not very appreciative of Sam's outlandish fashion.

What's come of his weskit? I don't hold with wearing ironmongery, whether it wears well or no.

[HerenIstarion]

Correct! You serve

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Try this one:

Nakedness is a great gain, when they are captive by life-saving.

[HerenIstarion]

Tom Bombadil to four hobbits, upon recovering them out of the Barrow clothed in strange garments:

Clothes are but little loss, if you escape from drowning

[Estelyn Telcontar]

That's it, HI! Your turn.

[HerenIstarion]

Have we thought about the grant of entrance back than? In times when her command to listen to us was still false?

[Estelyn Telcontar]

Can you drop a hint, please?

[HerenIstarion]

I've completely omitted the place name present in the original quote, sorry. I'll render the quote with the appropriate place name in, so it must become easier to work out:

Have we thought about the grant of entrance to Landia back than? In times when her command to listen to us was still false?

additional clues - one hobbit to another

[Evisse the Blue]

The closest I can find is this:
"If you have to go, then it will be a punishment for any of us to be left behind, even in Rivendell." Merry to Frodo.

[HerenIstarion]

Landia = Shire

[Evisse the Blue]

"Do you feel any need to leave the Shire now - now that your wish to see them has come true already?" Frodo to Sam, about the Elves.
