Nobody said it, rather these are the words written about Sauron when Frodo put on the rind inside Mt Doom.

Correct, of course.

Folwren · 08-17-2005, 01:58 PM

Is it legal (and I've never seen it done so I am actually assuming that it is not) to ask for all the vowels at once?

If not, just give me plain ol' E's.

Guinevere · 08-17-2005, 02:10 PM

D's please

Folwren I don't believe it's legal. Plus I think it would move too quickly. Though I have considered asking myself in the past.

Edit added D

Firefoot · 08-17-2005, 02:37 PM

I don't need the S's after all. Something has just rung a bell ....

mormegil · 08-17-2005, 04:29 PM

I don't know how you do it but it's correct.

Guinevere · 08-18-2005, 01:48 PM

'Tis just speculation.

/-/ must be "I" if it isn't "a". and d- had to be "do" , so the word in between had to be an auxiliary verb like "must" or "will" - then I just tried out possible words..."I knew that I must do (it or so)" "but I feared the -a-- (dark? pain?) " and then it made suddenly "click"

Or course it only works with quotes that for some reason touch me and therefore stay in my mind. As I once said to Firefoot, this game is so enjoyable because it gives us an opportunity to share with others the words that we love!

Anyway, here is a new one for you to ponder over:

beyond all towers strong and high,
beyond all mountains steep,
above all shadows rides the Sun
and Stars for ever dwell:
I will not say the Day is done,
nor bid the Stars farewell.
