Let's have a vowel next - A, please.

"-a-'t/ -/ ----/ --st/ a/ r---/ -r/ t--/, a-d/ a/ --t-/ --/ ---d/, --/ ---s-d-rat---/ --/ -as-/ -a----t/?"

*Esty longs for the C...

:D C-longing fulfilled
"Ca-'t/ -/ ----/ --st/ a/ r---/ -r/ t--/, a-d/ a/ --t-/ --/ ---d/, --/ c--s-d-rat---/ --/ cas-/ -a----t/?"

I, please

"Ca-'t/ I/ ----/ --st/ a/ ri--/ -r/ t--/, a-d/ a/ -it-/ --/ ---d/, i-/ c--sid-rati--/ --/ cas-/ -a----t/?"

Oh, my search was finally successful - no more information needed!

That's it, Esty ! :)

A Tolkien Beatitude
 

(_ = -)

May I ask for the E's ?

E-sy
 

--e--e- --e --e -e-e--_---e-- ---- --e-- ----e -- ------ --- ----- ------ -e----e- ---e.

the inevitable T's please ;)

+ T
 

--e--e- --e t-e -e-e--_---e-- --t- t-e-- ----e -- t----- --t ----- --t--- -e----e- t--e.

how about R ?

+ R
 

--e--e- -re t-e -e-e--_---er- --t- t-e-r r---e -- t----- --t ----- --t--- re--r-e- t--e.

Perhaps some i's?

Ah! Now I can suddenly see it! :)
It's from "Mythopoeia" (where my sig. is also from)

Blessed are the legend-makers with their rhyme
of things not found within recorded time.

You have it right, Guinevere! There are so many wonderful lines in that poem. Your turn...

Dankeschön! :)

Let's start off with a traditional "T", please.

----/ -----/ -----/ ---/ ------/ ----/, ---/ ---/ ---/ ----/ --t---/, ---/ --/ ----/ -----/ t--/ ---/ ----/ t--t/ ----/ --/ -------/ t--t---/.

"h"s?

H---/ -----/ -----/ ---/ ------/ ----/, ---/ ---/ ---/ ----/ --th--/, ---/ --/ h---/ h----/ th-/ ---/ ----/ th-t/ ----/ --/ -------/ th-th--/. ;)

Well, that combination of letters really gave away the last word! Thanks to your good help, Tuor, and the fact that the lines looked like they could be poetry, my search was successful. Here's the answer: Lovely choice, Guinevere!

Well done Esty! With only two letters!

Oh, I forgot to mention the speakers - the mariners are addressing Fíriel in 'The Last Ship', The Adventures of Tom Bombadil.

Here's a new quote:

O ?

O yes!
 

Indeed - well spotted!

O! ----- o- -o-o---- o- ------ o- ------ ------ o- -------- o- ------o--o-, o- -o------- o- o----, - ----o--

:) hm, on or of? :rolleyes: Can I have the R's please?

O + R
 

Yet another telling choice!

O! ----- or -o-o---- or ------ or -----r ------ or ---r---- or ------o--o-, or -o-----r- or o---r, - ----o--

It must be in "Roverandom" I suppose.... :)
Ha! found it:

"O! Japan or Honolulu or Manila or Easter Island or Thursday or Vladivostok, or somewhere or other, I suppose."

(said the mer-dog to Roverandom about the destination of a ship)

btw, when is it "O!" and when is it "Oh!" ? :rolleyes: I'm puzzled.

That's it! With the right couple of letters, you got the most important clues and found it! As to the use of "O" and "Oh", I'm not sure - the former seems to be a more archaic usage, or perhaps poetic...

Your turn!

Thank you, Esty! :)

"-----/ --/ ------/ --/ -----/ ---/ ----/ -----/ ---/ ---/ ------/ --/ ---/ -----/ ---/ ---/ -------/. ----/ ---/ ----/ --- _---------/ -----/. -------/ ---_--------/."

(_ stands for a hyphen.)

How about a nice coupla T's, please?!

Here they are

"T----/ --/ ----t-/ --/ -----/ ---/ ----/ -----/ ---/ --t/ ------/ --/ ---/ -----/ ---/ ---/ --t----/. ----/ ---/ t---/ --- _---------/ -t---/. -----t-/ ---_--------/."

S-T strikes again
 

Sssss too, please

"T----/ -s/ ----t-/ --/ s----/ ---/ ----/ -----/ ---/ --t/ ------/ --/ ---/ ----s/ ---/ ---/ --t---s/. ----/ ---/ t--s/ --- _--s------/ st---/. -----t-/ ---_--------/."

"i"s, please.
