edit: don't need it after all, I suddenly "saw" what it is:

Correct! Take it away, Guinevere!

Inziladun · 03-04-2009, 07:40 PM

After much pondering, at last I have it!

Quote:

And think not that our meeting was by chance; for the Dweller in the Deep moves many things in this land still. Anar kaluva tielyanna?!

Gelmir the Elf to Tuor.

Tuor in Gondolin · 03-04-2009, 09:31 PM

That's it. Gelmir chatting with the
responsible cousin of that hothead Turin.

Rather reminds you of a quote later in UT:

Quote:

It might all have gone differently indeed. The
main attack was diverted southwards, it is true; and
yet even so with his far-stretched right hand Sauron could
have done terrible harm in the Noirth, while we defended
Gondor, if King Brand and King Dain had not stood in his
path. When you think of the great Battle of Pelennor,
do not forget the battle of Dale. Think of what might
have been. Dragon-fire and savage swords in Eriador!
There might be no Queen in Gondor. We might now only
hope to return from the victory here to fire and ash. But
that has been averted - because I met Thorin Oakenshield
one evening on the edge of spring not far from Bree.
A chance-meeting, as we say in Middle-earth.

Inziladun · 03-05-2009, 06:06 PM

The message in each is the same isn't it? "Chance", as it relates to seemingly random occurances that have a major impact on events, seems to be absent in ME.
