Very good Eärniel.
Instead of listing the wrong words I've edited them:

"For the valour of the Edain the Elves shall ever remember _s the /a_e_/l_n_h_e_, /and/_a_v_l_i_g that they _a_e/_i_e/_o/ freely of which they had _o little. _u_/it is not /_o_/thy/_a_o_r/_n_y/that I send t_e_, but _o/_r_n_/i_t_/ the/_o_l_/ a/_o_e/_e_o_d _h_ sight,/_n_/a /_i_h_ /that/shall/_i_r_e/the /d_r_n_s_."

***Earniel*** · 02-08-2003, 06:13 PM

Since it's such a long quote I thought to put the new addings in bold. Perhaps that's easier to correct.

"For the valour of the Edain the Elves shall ever remember as the ages (lengthen?) l_n_h_e_, /and/_a_v_lling that they gave life so freely of which they had so little. _u_/it is not for thy valour/_n_y/ that I send thee, but to_r_n_/into the/_o_l_/ a/_o_e/_e_o_d thy sight, and a sight that shall/_i_r_e/ the /d_r_n_s_."

Artanis · 02-09-2003, 03:58 AM

Good idea. All your words are right except the last 'sight'.

***Earniel*** · 02-09-2003, 05:10 AM

Is it 'light' then?

Artanis · 02-09-2003, 05:51 AM

yepp.

Dunadan · 02-09-2003, 05:06 PM

"For the valour of the Edain the Elves shall ever remember as the ages lengthen, and marvelling that they gave life so freely of which they had so little. But it is not for thy valour only that I send thee, but to bring into the world a hope beyond thy sight, and a sight that shall _i_r_e the d_r_n_s_."

Somebody to Earendil?

Quote is correct so far, only put in Eärniel's 'light' instead of the last 'sight'.

It is not said to Earendil, but it's a good guess.

Right. Ulmo to Tuor to be precise. The last words are "pierce the darkness". In UT: "Of Tuor and his coming to Gondolin".

***Earniel*** · 02-09-2003, 05:39 PM

*claps*

Well done! The rest of the quote and the contest had completely stumped me.

Artanis · 02-09-2003, 05:47 PM

Your turn Kirinki54.

Whew! I hope I got that right...

***Earniel*** · 02-09-2003, 06:09 PM

They had /_u_p_sed that any/a_/_n_/r_t_/of his/_b_e_t_/in his land/a_s_n_e/the dry/_e_o_e/had been to/h_n_/for lord to his own/_i_ing; and now we/_a_/e_i_e_n_l_/ s_i_p_d/_f_/a_a_n/ while they t_l_e_.

Artanis · 02-09-2003, 06:28 PM

They had supposed that and at any rate o_ his _b_e_t_ in his long absence _h_/d_y people had been to h_n_ for good to his own liking; and now he had evidently slipped off again while they talked.

Doesn't make too much sense

Tar-Elendil · 02-09-2003, 09:37 PM

sounds more like a narration than dialouge=\

Well, it is narration. Sorry for not paying attention in class; SGH will have me pay for this.

Someone else go ahead with aproper quote...

Artanis · 02-10-2003, 04:22 AM

No! I want the solution to this one first, or I'll trip

It's not 'people', but 'the day before', yes?

Kirinki54 · 02-10-2003, 05:46 PM

Hint: it is about Gollum.

Artanis · 02-11-2003, 03:27 PM

Found it!
"They had supposed that one at any rate of his objects in his long absence the day before had been to hunt for food to his own liking; and now he had evidently slipped off again while they talked."
From "The stairs of Cirith Ungol".

***Sister Golden Hair*** · 02-11-2003, 06:49 PM

If you know that is it for sure Artanis, go ahead and post your quote. Kirinki may take some time to reply.

Artanis · 02-11-2003, 06:59 PM

OK, I was just going to bed, but I'll give you this first, looked up randomly from the book:

"F_y/_r_/y_u/_o_h,/_n_/f_o_h_r_y./_o_/h_l_/n_t/_u_/h_n_e_/a_y/_a_h_r_n_/o_/n_w_./N_w/_e_r/_e!/

Go ahead, but don't expect any answer from me until tomorrow. *yawn*
