Does it help you to know it's from "The Hobbit" ?

Raynor · 02-06-2006, 12:34 PM

Bilbo to himself:
"I have heard songs of many battles, and I have always understood that defeat may be glorious. It seems very uncomfortable not to say distressing. I wish I was well out of it.

Guinevere · 02-07-2006, 02:43 PM

Well done, Raynor!

please proceed.

Raynor · 02-07-2006, 03:01 PM

Silmarillion:

Behold rather the _______ and _______ of the clouds, _______ the _______ mists; _______ listen to the _______ of _______ upon the Earth! And in these clouds _______ art _______ nearer to Manwe, _______ friend, _______ thou _______.

Guinevere · 09-02-2006, 01:37 PM

I had quite forgotten about this thread!

"Behold rather the height and glory of the clouds, and the everchanging mists; and listen to the fall of rain upon the Earth! And in these clouds thou art drawn nearer to Manwë, thy friend, whom thou lovest."

Iluvatar speaking to Ulmo

Evisse the Blue · 10-22-2006, 02:12 AM

*bump*

I think you can go ahead with a new one, Guinevere

Raynor · 10-22-2006, 02:49 AM

Sheesh! I can't believe I forgot about this thread

. You are correct, please go ahead.

Guinevere · 10-22-2006, 02:51 AM

OK

I wasn't sure if anyone would still be interested in this game...

"____ have my ______, but not my ______," said _______ . The ______ you _____ from my ________, the better it ________ me."

Evisse the Blue · 01-16-2011, 07:41 AM

'You have my leave but not my love. The sooner you depart from my land, the better it pleases me'
Curufin to Eol.

I'm pretty sure I got it right, so I'll post the next one:

'We shall ___ a good ___ ___ yet and __ ask ___ to ___!' said ____. 'Good ___ to you!'

Galadriel55 · 01-16-2011, 09:58 AM

'We shall break a good many things yet and not ask you to answer!' said Pippin. 'Good day to you!'
Pippin, in The Scouring of the Shire.

Evisse the Blue · 01-16-2011, 12:18 PM

Yep.

Except it's 'Good luck to you'.

Galadriel55 · 01-16-2011, 07:26 PM

Sorry about the luck-day: I was doing that from memory.

Now we ____ you, ____ nasty little ____! We will ____ ____ and leave ____ bones and ____ hanging ___ a _____.

Evisse the Blue · 01-17-2011, 01:57 PM

Now we see you, you nasty little creature! We will eat you and leave your bones and skin hanging from a tree!

Mirkwood Spider to Bilbo.

Galadriel55 · 01-17-2011, 06:41 PM

Thread is yours, Evisse!

Evisse the Blue · 01-18-2011, 04:11 AM

Thanks!

"Here's a ____ hobbit __ to ___ an elven ____ in! If it were known that ____ had such ____, all the _____ of _____ ______ would be _____ to the ____!"

Guinevere · 02-20-2011, 11:02 AM

" Here's a pretty hobbit-skin to wrap an elven-princeling in! If it were known that hobbits had such hides, all the hunters of Middle-earth would be riding to the Shire!"

Aragorn, discovering Frodo's Mithril coat after their escape from Moria.

Evisse the Blue · 03-14-2011, 01:31 AM

That's right!

Very sorry for the delay.

Guinevere · 04-13-2011, 01:37 PM

Oops, I had quite forgotten that it is my turn here.

If anyone is still interested, here goes:

" Don't ____!" said the _______. "You need not be _____ like a ____, even if you ___ rather like ___. It is a ___ _____ with little _____. What is ____ than ____ ?"

Galadriel55 · 05-07-2011, 06:07 PM

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

Eagle to Bilbo in TH

Guinevere · 05-14-2011, 10:31 AM

Sorry for replying so late!

Galadriel55 · 05-16-2011, 04:07 PM

"There's only one ________ in ________, and that's _______."

Gonna be pretty easy, methinks.

LadyBrooke · 06-08-2011, 10:20 PM

There's only one dragon in Bywater, and that's green.

Ted Sandyman to Sam in FotR

Galadriel55 · 06-09-2011, 07:01 AM

Yup! Your turn.

LadyBrooke · 06-09-2011, 10:12 AM

Cool

Your _____ of faith you may _____, but I must hold my ____.

Galadriel55 · 06-09-2011, 12:54 PM

"Your oaths of faith you may break, but I must hold my bond"

Felagund to his people before leaving with Beren

LadyBrooke · 06-09-2011, 01:50 PM

Correct

Your turn.

Galadriel55 · 06-09-2011, 01:51 PM

"Nay, we all _____ together as _____ _____, and will ____ be parted"

LadyBrooke · 06-23-2011, 08:28 PM

"Nay, we all run together as one man, and will not be parted

Turin, to the Men of Brethil, UT, though I suppose it is likely also in CoH.

Galadriel55 · 06-23-2011, 08:42 PM

That's the line! (I laughed when I first read this passage, I like it

)

It's in COH. I haven't read UT yet.

LadyBrooke · 06-23-2011, 09:19 PM

Exact opposite for me - I've read (and liked) UT, but haven't read CoH, and really am not too eunthustic about it. I don't really like Turin you see....

I almost _____ that I _____ you ____, but do not let ____ be _____.

Galadriel55 · 06-23-2011, 09:24 PM

"I almost feel that I dislike you both, but do not let us be hasty!" ~Treebeard, upon meeting Merry and Pippin.

I love COH. Just as much as LOTR and The Sil. (TH is neat, but it's just not the same. I like it just a tinge less). I heard UT is a treat, so I can't wait to read it!

Quote:

I don't really like Turin you see....

Hehe, on my first reading of The Sil I got so annoyed with all this being-cursed business in the Turin Turambar chapter that I didn't read COH until I reread LOTR and TH. But then I read it, and I loved it...

LadyBrooke · 06-23-2011, 09:31 PM

Correct!...I had the feeling that would be a fast one. I was too lazy to actually look something up...so grabbed and used the page topper.

I like UT because of the Celeborn information contained within...and I'll admit, reading TH, I normally read the Rivendell, Mirkwood, and battle sections, skipping anything without elves.

Galadriel55 · 06-23-2011, 09:52 PM

This is one of my favourite passages too, althogh that hardly means anything considering how many favourites I have...

"Dear-_____ those _____ shall be _____, and yet shall be well-_____. For the _____ could be ______ other."

Guinevere · 01-22-2012, 04:49 PM

"Dear-bought those songs shall be accounted, and yet shall be well-bought. For the price could be no other."

Manwë, on hearing Fëanor's answer to his heralds.

Galadriel55 · 01-22-2012, 05:14 PM

But late is better than never!

Please procede!

Guinevere · 01-26-2012, 02:51 PM

thanks!

"___?" said _____, when he ______. "Why did you ___ that? Worse than _____ your _____ could have ____! You have ____ your _____ in it. Or should I _____ your _____?"

Evisse the Blue · 03-20-2012, 07:36 AM

"Well?" said Strider when he appeared. 'Why did you do that? Worse than anything your friends could have said! You have put your foot in it. Or should I say your finger?'

Guinevere · 03-20-2012, 11:42 AM

That's it! Nice to see you here again, Evisse!

Evisse the Blue · 03-28-2012, 02:06 AM

Thanks!

This place is so unchanged

New one:

"We will ____ and may the ______ find ____ ____ _____. ____ will _____ after them. ___ ____ suppose we'll ____ _____ _____ again."
