"'Get you gone, and fly!' cried Beren; 'for here is a fire that shall consume you, and all evil things.'" - The Silmarillion, "Of Beren and Luthien"

I actually deciphered that before I figured out where it came from. Good quote!

Guinevere · 04-07-2009, 01:05 PM

Well done, Beregond!

Beregond · 04-07-2009, 01:18 PM

Thanks! [cliche]I've been really busy.[\cliche] It's true though.

You've asked for I's and R's, and here they arr!

It sure looks like Gandalf to the Balrog:

"I am a servant of the secret fire, wielder of the flame of Anor. The dark fire will not avail you, flame of Udûn. You cannot pass."

(sorry, but I couldn't resist this...)

Beregond · 04-08-2009, 12:48 PM

Ai! I was being cheeky by picking a very similar quote to yours in the hope it would, if anything, throw people off. Didn't work! But you've got it. I love that quote.

And that was solved very quickly nonetheless, I may say.

Guinevere · 04-08-2009, 01:40 PM

Thank you, Beregond!

The next quote is certainly not as well-known:

Quote:

None has ever been hewn. It bears cool leaves in summer, and flowers in winter. It is for this that we prize it.

I like this quote because it shows so clearly the attitude of the elves towards nature.
