"For that woe is past," "and I would take what joy is here left, untroubled by memory. And maybe there is woe yet to come , though still hope may seem brigt."

Who said that? And to who did they say it to?

Turambar · 12-21-2001, 07:32 AM

I posted that excellent quote myself, once, so I'll let someone else guess. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

HerenIstarion · 12-30-2001, 04:09 AM

Galadriel to Melian in Menegroth

Arvedui · 01-04-2002, 11:36 PM

Exactly, your turn.

Quote:

Why hast thou done this? Why dost thou attempt a thing which thou knowest is beyond thy power and thy authority?

Elrian · 01-06-2002, 03:43 AM

Illuvatar to Aule?

HerenIstarion · 01-06-2002, 12:39 PM

Quote:

I go now to my long rest in the timeless halls beyond the seas and the Mountains of Aman. It will be long ere I am seen among the Noldor again; and it may be that we shall not meet a second time in death or life, for the fates of our kindred are apart. Farewell!

HerenIstarion · 01-10-2002, 04:55 AM

Felagund to Beren in Tol-in-Gaurhoth

HerenIstarion · 01-10-2002, 04:57 AM

Felagund to Beren in Tol-in-Gaurhoth

HerenIstarion · 01-10-2002, 04:57 AM

Felagund to Beren in Tol-in-Gaurhoth

Elrian · 01-28-2002, 09:22 PM

That's it. Your turn.

Elrian · 05-28-2002, 02:23 AM

Quote:

If Manwe and Varda themselves deny the fulfillment of an oath to which we named them in witness, is it not made void?

Lothiriel Silmarien · 05-28-2002, 02:24 PM

Maedhros? I'll have to look that one up though. That was just off the top of my head.

Elrian · 05-28-2002, 04:07 PM

Nope.

Heen-1 · 05-31-2002, 09:34 PM

maglor?

oh and for a second guess, even though it sounds stupid since in the quote the word "we" is used, Eonwe?

Elrian · 05-31-2002, 09:45 PM

You got it Heen-1, your turn. Welcome to the Downs by the way. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Heen-1 · 06-01-2002, 10:44 AM

hehe, thank you [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"I will come.If the Munburg falls, whither shall we flee from the darkness?"

BTW, i didnt memorize any so i just opend the book, is that allowed?

Daniel Telcontar · 06-01-2002, 10:55 AM

Is it Theoden, answering to the Rider from Gondor carrying the Red Arrow?
It is a good quote, but not one from the Sil. We better bear that in mind.

Heen-1 · 06-01-2002, 03:47 PM

ahhh no its not theoden, and i wasnt paying attention so....ill tell you that its from the Unfinished Tales.

sorry

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-05-2002, 07:04 AM

Eorl the Young speaking to Borondir the Stirrupless, errand-rider of Gondor after the Balchoth had invaded the Vales of Anduin

Heen-1 · 06-05-2002, 03:47 PM

BAM!

you got it matt, nice. now your turn!

Mat_Heathertoes · 06-06-2002, 09:48 AM

Quote:

Who made them our spokesmen to deal with him

Daniel Telcontar · 06-08-2002, 02:33 PM

It was one of feanor's sons, speaking to Galdriel or Finrod, I think, when he heard about Thingol forbidding the Noldorne in his Kingdom.

I don't have the Sil on me [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Maédhros · 06-08-2002, 09:13 PM

Caranthir the dark.

Quote:

But Caranthir, who loved not the sons of Finarfin, and was the harshest of the brothers and the most quick to anger, cried aloud: 'Yea more! Let not the sons of Finarfin run hither and thither with their tales to this Dark Elf in his caves! Who made them our spokesmen to deal with him? And though they be come indeed to Beleriand, let them not so swiftly forget that their father is a lord of the Noldor, though their mother be of other kin.'

Daniel Telcontar · 06-10-2002, 08:33 AM

Since no one else posts here, I take it that it is my turn. Who said:
Where are Haldad my father, and Haldar my brother? If the king of Doriath fears a friendship between Haleth and those who have devoured her kin, then the thoughts of the Eldar is strange to Men."

Should be easy with the name references.

Eärendil · 06-10-2002, 11:04 AM

I would guess Haleth..

Daniel Telcontar · 06-10-2002, 11:35 AM

Absolutely correct. Your turn to post a quote.

Eärendil · 06-11-2002, 10:31 AM

[img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
I don´t know if this one has been posted before or not, but oh well...

"Go hence, unto a swift and a bitter death."

Turambar · 06-11-2002, 01:14 PM

Curufin, to Beren.

Eärendil · 06-12-2002, 05:08 AM

Correct! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Your turn.

Daniel Telcontar · 06-23-2002, 11:20 AM

Well, I think the deadline has passed. So I will post a quote:
Get thee gone and take thy due place!

Joy · 06-23-2002, 10:18 PM

Daniel, to answer your quote, it is Fëanor to Fingolfin, his half-brother.

Daniel Telcontar · 06-24-2002, 01:05 PM

You are right, Joy, and I soubt you had much trouble guessing it. But feel free to post a quote.

Joy · 06-24-2002, 03:11 PM

So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here shall you fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I!

Salix · 06-24-2002, 03:55 PM

That was Eol to Maeglin.

Joy · 06-24-2002, 04:08 PM

Very good Salix, your turn.

Salix · 06-24-2002, 04:12 PM

Yay! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

"See now! I offer thee freedom."

Joy · 06-24-2002, 05:14 PM

Salix, sounds like Melkor to Fëanor.

Salix · 06-24-2002, 05:25 PM

Nope, nowhere near. Well, one of the people is related in some way to one of the people in the quote.
