Re: New Quote

CORRECT. Based on the answers I've read to previous quotes, I guess that was an easy one.

[HerenIstarion]

Aye! not so hard

Ccarrying on the banner, who have said and to whom:

They might have found their welcome here less warm than they hoped, had you accompanied them; but it is no matter, for that was not their errand.

This feels like a Sil. quote, but I haven't been able to track it down yet...

Alice's adverb

Curiouser and curiouser?

OK try this one:

&quot;Let bearing pay for bearing! But ill-fated was mine, and vain is thine . . . &quot;

Re: Alice's adverb

Correct ! Your turn.

Can I ask you as an obviously HUGE Tolkien lover whether you liked the BBC dramatization of LotR?

</p>

[HerenIstarion]

Hear, hear!

Lord, we are but mortal Men, and unlike the Eldar. They may endure for long years awaiting battle with their enemies in some far distant day; but for us the time is short, and our hope and strength soon wither

Beren?

[HerenIstarion]

Nay, Beren is incorrect, but it was one of his relatives.

I never saw one, I even never heard of BBC dramatization till you mentioned it

Re: -

Barahir?

The BBC dramatization was a &quot;radio play&quot;, if that's the right term. About 9 hours long for the whole trilogy. I got it off napster, and I think it is quite good, especially compared to the other dramatization of LotR which is sold in stores. The other one -- I don't know who did it -- is so bad it's almost funny; Frodo sounds like Zeppo Marx.

</p>

[HerenIstarion]

Barahir is equally incorrect

P.S. Now I know what you mean - I too got it via Napster (btw, from Saulotus), only I have never known it was produced by BBC. It's quite allright (though I only listened to Beren and Luthien story. It has a very solemn beginning - Of Beren and Luthien says profound voice and then comes all the rest. I always wished to have a fireplace to get curled up beside it while listening. Alas for I have it not

Re: -

The BBC dramatization was of LotR, not the Silm. There is an audio books reading of Silm (read by Martin Shaw) which is also excellent, I actually got the casette tapes of that right at my public library (and duped the tapes). That is an unabridged reading of the full text. The BBC thing is a dramatization, heavily abridged, with a different person doing each voice. On napster it's in 9 parts, each a little less than an hour. Anyway it's very good. E.g. the opening scene is Gollum in Mordor being tortured by a servant of Sauron, a scene that is hinted at in LotR but not portrayed. P.s. there are also audio book versions of the whole trilogy, also read by Martin Shaw, they were at my public library also. Great to listen to in the car, although the fireplace idea sounds good too.

The last one was done correctly - only turn off html on your screen, and turn on the use of ezcodes (you can see those options below the message window when you post. As for the answer it is Eol to Maeglin, his son

Re: Aha!

The ezcode box is checked; I don't see a box for HTML. Obviously I am not as wise as my namesake. Btw, Georgia isn't near Troy is it? If so, sorry about that horse thing I pulled on your ancestors.

Anyway -- Ëol is correct -- your turn to ask.

</p>

[HerenIstarion]

If 1000 miles is near, than well, yes. But I can't accept your apologie, for they were not mine bad, bad Odysseus, pulling horrible horsies on poor Trojans *sobs*

'What would you here, unhappy mortal, and for what cause have you left your own land to enter this, which is forbidden to such as you? Can you show reason why my power should not be laid on you in heavy punishment for you insolence and folly?'

P.S.

Heh, what a fitting quote

Re: Work on Your Manners, King

No the &quot;Re&quot; line was addressed to King Thingol -- Beren was, after all, a guest.

Anyway:
