yippie, I found it !
It`s the end of the barrow-wights incantation (The one which starts with "Cold be hand and heart and bone..)

"In the black wind the stars shall die
and still on gold here let them lie
till the dark lord lifts his hand
over dead sea and withered land."

hobbitlass · 01-02-2003, 03:51 PM

Yes, that's correct, Guinevere. Whew! You are good!!

Guinevere · 01-03-2003, 02:18 PM

Yes, it is.

Theoden to the Eorlingas and everyone else nearby.

Arise now, arise, Riders of Theoden!
Dire deeds awake, dark is it eastward.
Let horse be bridled, horn be sounded!
Forth Eorlingas!

Guinevere · 01-07-2003, 03:36 AM

Gorwingel · 01-13-2003, 02:30 PM

I still don't see it, but could I have a "W"

Guinevere · 01-13-2003, 02:37 PM

Yes, I do! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
Even if I don't have my Silmarillion with me, I see that it is Finrod at his death saying to Beren:

"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!"

lathspell · 01-13-2003, 02:47 PM

Wonderful, Guinevere. And though you didn't have the Silmarillion with you were absolutely right. one wrong letter, but that is forgiven [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] - kindred = kindreds

To you the great responsibility to ask a submit a new quote [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

Guinevere · 01-13-2003, 03:19 PM

Oops, I had plainly overlooked that missing "s" ! [img]smilies/frown.gif[/img]
