There were only few words I couldn't guess, but it took me a long time to find where this quote comes from!

First Voice speaking to Second Voice, about Niggle's merits.

Estelyn Telcontar 04-20-2005 06:10 AM

Ah, I thought that looked like it could be poetry! It's Corrigan, speaking to Aotrou in The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun:
Quote:

Forget thy wife; for thou shall wed
anew with me, or stand as stone
and wither lifeless and alone,
as stone beside the fountain stand
forgotten in Broceliande.
("Thou" was the clue - I don't think that's used in any other of the minor works!)

Guinevere 04-24-2005 12:06 PM

Exactly!http://www.travar.de/Templates/Webpr...s/luxhello.gif Good work Esty!
