sorry, it's not geordie
westcountry farmer talk!!

BTW, Nurv and any one i dont know,
the last word isn't dissuaded,
have another go y'all < that's american!


EDIT: Speaker is Beregond of the Guard

[Nurvingiel]

Missing word: broil?

[Tuor of Gondolin]

'This is no weather of the world. This is some device of his malice; some /b_o_l/of fume from the mountain of fire that he sends to darken hearts and counsel.
And so it doth indeed. I wish the Lord Faramir would return.
He would not be dismayed. But now, who knows if he will ever come back across the river out of darkness?'

[Last Child of Ungoliant]

well done tuor and nurv
dint seem to be able to post earlier,
but i'm afraid nurv gets it, sorry tuor

[Angelus22]

Actually, I believe it would be Tuor's turn, as he picked the last word as being "dismayed". Either way, I'm sure whoever of the two gets on first will post a quote - our egos are fairly robust! (or at least I would like to think so...)


Having said that, I'm starting to imagine a scenario where Nurv gets on and posts. Meanwhile, Tuor arrives screaming "USURPER!" then challenges Nurv to a duel (wielding a trout, of course)! *chortle*

*edit* BTW, this is luinilwen - I'm on my brother's PC and didn't realise he was logged on!

[Tuor of Gondolin]

[Valandil]

"When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
Beneath the root of sleeping leaves tie the dreams of trees untold;
Then woodland hills are green and cold, and wind is in
the West,
Come back to me, and say my land is best!"

~ Treebeard

Let's wait to hear back from Tuor... I'm pretty sure of the main points, but may have missed a few words.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

There are a few letters to finish.

"When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
Beneath the /roo_/ of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees un_old;
_hen woodland/h_lls/ are green and cool, and wind is in
the West,
Come back to me, and say my land is best!"

[Earniel]

"When Summer lies upon the world, and in a noon of gold
Beneath the roof of sleeping leaves the dreams of trees unfold;
When woodland halls are green and cool, and wind is in
the West,
Come back to me, and say my land is best!"

If correct Valandil can have my turn, have no time to post quote now myself.

[Tuor of Gondolin]

That's correct.

Thanks Earniel... if I can't post within the next couple hours, I'll pass the torch along myself. Nice solve, btw... but it was an 'ent-quote'!

Ah Tuor... you doubled up the "the's" on me, eh?

(EDIT: - oh and did you guys all see Azalea's new 'project' in the LOTR Books Forum?)

[luinilwen]

Ahh the Barrow Wights! I'll see how much I can do from memory:

"Cold be hand and heart and bone,
And cold be sleep under stone;
Never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the Sun pails and the Moon is dead.
In the black went the/_t_r_/shall die, (??)
and still on gold here let them lie,
till the dark hold mists his land (??)
Ever dead wet and withered hand.

I'm sure there's a few mistakes in there, especially in the last four lines...

BTW i said nurv cause nurv got 'broil', no-one else did...

I checked - sorry I didn't realise RÃ*an had already guessed "dismayed". My apologies, LCoU. I was fairly sleep deprived when I made that post, hence the trout duel comment...

Anyway, as MP put it: "Get on with it!"

[Nurvingiel]

A little bit more...

never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
In the black went the stars shall die

I think it's "fails" because it would have to be "pales" in that context.

lol good point! And that's how Gollum sings it in his wierd version of this quote in the TT movie.

"In the black went the stars shall die" - I don't think "went" is right it doesn't make sense.

I think we should work on the last two lines I did - I don't think they're right at all. They don't make sense!

[-elfearz-]

ooh! ooh! i know this!

"Cold be hand and heart and bone,
And cold be sleep under stone;
Never more to wake on stony bed,
never, till the Sun fails and the Moon is dead.
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.

am fairly sure its right...but when its confirmed luinilwen can go ahead...she got most of it and i am 60 pages behind in law readings

[Rían]

Right you are, elfearz!

And the speaker is correct - those friendly fellows, the Barrow wights You check into their hotel, you don't usually come out ... That part always gave me the creeps!

luinilwen or Nurv can go ahead
