Wow, incredible! How did you find that out with only one letter? Kudos!!
In my book (HarperCollins, ed.1994) Cirdan says: "But as for me, my heart is with the Sea, and I will dwell by the grey shores until the last ship sails. I will await you." I wonder that there are such differences... I guess your version is the original one, because an editor would probably not add more text or change "you" to "thee"..

Quote:
The single letter later was either “I” or “A” I assumed “I” which would make the fourth word “me” to setting up the subject I. And the phrase that fit best was “But as for me” A far simpler explanation I made a bunch of assumptions and got lucky.

Well assuming that’s an L left behind and not the punctuation might as well fill the rest in L

“Too well the”?
Possibly. I’ll take H and see if we can break out the Thes.

that's the one, well done Blind Guardian!
The sentence in my edition starts with: "But love not too well the work of thy hands..."

I really really want to take this down with no letters. “, **,” is the key. I’ve plugged in every two letter word that makes sense between two commas but can’t find anything.
Fine I’ll try the old fashioned way. E

Ah it was close enough. I like how you didn't post the actual quote for 10 hours.
