This is driving me insane! It looks so familiar! Well, considering alaklondewen hasn't answered either, this must be a tough one for everyone. Perhaps you could fill in a couple blanks if no one gets it by tonight.

eleanor_niphredil · 02-20-2003, 02:27 PM

I'll give you a clue. Its in ROTK, and is someone talking about something that happened.

the phantom · 02-20-2003, 03:33 PM

"Green are those fields in the songs of my people; but they were dark then, grey wastes in the blackness before us. And over the wide land, trampling unheeded the grass and the flowers, we hunted our foes through a day and a night, until we came at the bitter end to the Great River at last."

That was a good one. Here's mine...

"____ ________," said _______, "the ____ is indeed ____, yet it was ____ even in ____ ___ when we ___ under the _____ _______ in the ______ of ______ where none ___ ____."

lord of dor-lomin · 02-24-2003, 03:40 PM

It looks familiar, but since no one's gotten it yet, how about a hint, phantom?

the phantom · 02-25-2003, 12:15 PM

A hint? Okay. Let's see if you get it now.

Aragorn said it.

elven maiden Earwen · 02-25-2003, 02:55 PM

Lady Undomiel, said Aragorn, the hour is indeed hard,yet it was made even in the day when we met under the birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk.

the phantom · 02-25-2003, 04:11 PM

You left out a word! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Try again!

elven maiden Earwen · 02-25-2003, 04:36 PM

Lady Undomiel, said Aragorn, the hour is indeed hard,yet it was made even in the day when we met under the white birches in the garden of Elrond where none now walk.

Guinevere · 02-26-2003, 02:09 PM

Oh, I know it! It's so close to the one before... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

"There at last when the mallorn-leaves were falling, but spring had not yet come, she laid herself to rest upon Cerin Amroth; and there is her green grave, until the world is changed, and all the days of her life are utterly forgotten by men that come after, and elanor and niphredil bloom no more east of the sea."

So sad [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

elven maiden Earwen · 02-26-2003, 05:32 PM

correct! I love that one. Its sooo sad [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]

Guinevere · 02-27-2003, 01:51 PM

As I have _____, so I will __ __. We ____ now to the ____ _____, where ____ and _______ are akin. To _____ is to ____.

Legolas · 03-06-2003, 12:57 AM

Aragorn:

As I have _begun_, so I will _go_ _on_. We _come_ now to the _very_ _brink_, where _hope_ and _despair_ are akin. To _waiver_ is to _fall_.

Guinevere · 03-06-2003, 04:06 AM

Exactly, Legolas [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Tinuviel the Nightingale · 03-29-2003, 01:03 AM

Yes, this one is very hard a hint would be apprectiated.

Airehiriel · 04-28-2003, 12:17 PM

Legolas, can we have a hint? Or should someone else continue on?

Legolas · 05-20-2003, 01:59 PM

It's about our furry-footed friends.

Said by Legolas about Merry and Pippin, on the edge of Fangorn Forest. TTT

Finwe · 06-16-2003, 12:16 PM

Wow that was amazing!

**The Saucepan Man** · 07-02-2003, 02:51 PM

Earwen, it would be better to PM Legolas rather than posting here as, being a busy mod, he might very well not see your post.

In any event, it looks very much to me as if Gilraen is correct and, since I believe that she is away for a few weeks, I would suggest that anyone may now post a new question. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

TolkienGurl · 07-07-2003, 01:08 PM

It certainly has been a while since the last quote, so I think I'll jump in and post a new one! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Quote:

'____,' he answered, 'you are not yet ______, and I was _________ to tend you with ________ ____. You should not have _____ from your ___ for _____ days yet, or so I was ______. I ___ you to go ____.'

It might be a bit too easy even now, so I think I'll wait to post a hint.

~TolkienGurl

the phantom · 07-07-2003, 05:12 PM

'Lady,' he answered, 'you are not yet healed, and I was commanded to tend you with especial care. You should not have risen from your bed for seven days yet, or so I was bidden. I beg you to go back.'

TolkienGurl · 07-07-2003, 11:06 PM

Yes! Very good, phantom. Your turn! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Was it too easy? Maybe I'm too soft on you guys... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

the phantom · 07-08-2003, 11:00 PM

That's okay. I like easy ones (when I'm the one that gets them).
