Fs would be fine, fun, and fantastic.

Guinevere · 01-19-2010, 01:57 PM

Hm, I was sure this would be solved by now...

I have the quote, but I just can't remember the source!

Lindale · 01-19-2010, 10:51 PM

"But if they weary of peace and the plays of peace, soon they will go back to their great play, manslaying and war. Thus it is, and we are set here among them. But we need not assent..."

Erendis to Ancalime. I love this quote, and not least because Tolkien isn't too fond of strong-willed women. Let me continue:

"...We also are daughters of the great, and we have wills and courage of our own. Therefore do not bend, Ancalime. Once bend a little, and they will bend you further until you are bowed down. Sink your roots into the rock, and face the wind, though it blow away all your leaves."

Guinevere · 01-20-2010, 02:18 PM

Take it away, Lindale! (I thought Erendis was going to find that quote

)

If I remember rightly I have used the last sentence you quoted as a "palantir" some time ago.

Lindale · 01-21-2010, 04:10 AM

Yep, I remember it Guin; wasn't I the one who figured that one out too? I lurve Erendis! One of my most favorite female characters ever.

Now here's my palantir:

Guinevere · 01-22-2010, 03:04 PM

Quote:

"it is a fair tale, though it is sad, as are all the tales of Middle-earth, and yet it may lift up your hearts."

Aragorn to the hobbits about the tale of Beren and Luthien.

I love this quote, because it describes exactly the effect of Tolkien's works: they lift up the heart!

("the eye" made me chuckle!)

Lindale · 01-23-2010, 03:22 AM

You got it, Guinevere!

Guinevere · 01-25-2010, 01:09 PM
