"i"s?

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 08:54 AM

"----e- /, ----e- /, --e- / s---- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 08:55 AM

R, please.

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 08:56 AM

"--r-e- /, --r-e- /, --e- / s---- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 10:18 AM

H's!

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 10:25 AM

SHIRE!

"--r-e- /, --r-e- /, -he- / sh--- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 10:39 AM

Haha, haha...I have it all but the first two words, which is the same word repeated.

Hm. M's?

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 10:41 AM

Once you know the first word, you know everything about the quote.

M's should help!

SIR HEM

"M-r-e- /, M-r-e- /, -he- / sh--- / I / see / --- / ---i- /?"

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 10:50 AM

I give in. I'll guess another vowel. O.

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 10:52 AM

SIR HOME

"Mor-e- /, Mor-e- /, -he- / sh--- / I / see / -o- / ---i- /?"

There aren't that many instances when this could be said!

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 11:02 AM

Okay. Is it, "Morwen, Morwen, when shall I see you again?"

Problem: I honestly don't know who said it or when. Obviously it was said to Morwen...but her identity escapes me at present, hence the identity also of the distressed person who appears to be leaving her. I think this is a shockingly clear sign that I need to re-read at least the Silm, if not other Historical books of ME.

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 11:04 AM

You got the quote right. It's from COH. Think: who is disstressed, because s/he is parting with Morwen for quite a while? There aren't that many people.

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 11:17 AM

I told you. I don't even remember who Morwen is, unless she is Turin's mother, in which case it may be his father that is speaking to her.

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 11:18 AM

lol. That came out a little sharp. Is it Hurin?

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 11:21 AM

No, not Hurin, but you're on the right track.

Keep trying.

Hint: Morwen is indeed Turin's mother. The person who she's parting with will not see her ever again (but they don't know that, they think they'll meet some day)

Folwren · 03-01-2011, 11:35 AM

Okay...Turin himself, then, maybe?

Galadriel55 · 03-01-2011, 11:43 AM

Yes!

Quote:

Now Turin was made ready for the journey, and he bade farewell to his mother, and departed in secret with his two companions. But when they bade Turin turn and look back upon the house of his father, then the anguish of parting smote him like a sword, and he cried, "Morwen, Morwen, when shall I see you again?" But Morwen standing on her threshold heard the echo of that cry in the wooded hills, and she clutched the post of the door so that her fingers were torn. This was the first of the sorrows of Turin.

~COH, The Departure of Turin
One of my favourite passages from COH.

Folwren · 03-02-2011, 12:01 PM

I haven't read all of COH. I really should, you know.

I'll get something up maybe later today.

Foley?

Folwren · 04-01-2011, 09:54 AM

Do you know what the problem is? Neither at home nor at work do I have copies of Tolkien books. My copies are at my parents' house, but whenever I'm there, I'm not on the computer much.

That being said, I'll put forth an effort and put one up toda.

Folwren · 04-08-2011, 09:32 PM

Here we are at last. I am sorry about the delay - I have no excuse. But here it is:
