It's -i-ht ri-ht -----h; --t th-r-'s -- -ir--i-ht: --r- is ---r ---, --- ---- is --st-r.

g please

The G's are obvious, so I don't really need them:

Tídwald speaking to Torhthelm, after Totta's "vision".

Yes indeed! Sounds very Barrow-Downsish, doesn't it?! Go ahead with a new one...

Here is new one:

"----/ ------/ -/ --/, -/ ----/ ----/ ---/ ---/! -/ ----/ ----/ ------/, ---/ -/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ---/, ---/ ---/ --/ --/ ----."

"c"s, please.

...and S, please.

some S's, but no C

"----/ ------/ -/ --/, -/ --s-/ ----/ ---/ s--/! -/ ----/ --s-/ --s---/, ---/ -/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ---/, ---/ ---/ --/ --/ ----."

You knew it would come next - no S without T!

and some H's

STH - no C

"---t/ th---h/ -/ --/, -/ --st/ ----/ th-/ s--/! -/ h---/ --st/ --s---/, ---/ -/ ----/ --t/ th-/ ---/, --t/ --t/ --/ --/ ----."

E please

"o"s?

N too, please

HONEST- no C

"-ent/ tho--h/ -/ -e/, -/ --st/ --n-/ the/ se-/! -/ h--e/ --st/ --se--/, -n-/ -/ -no-/ not/ the/ ---/, --t/ -et/ -e/ -e/ --ne."

Correct, of course! :)
I always wondered, why this poem is associated with Frodo - it seems very depressing.

I'm going to be away for the weekend - would those of you who post here prefer that I put up a new quote before leaving, even though I can only answer your requests today, or should I wait and post one on Monday?

I dont mind, I'm not impatient. Or, if you start one now, and I guess some letters, I can ponder over it on the weekend. ;)
Anyhow, I wish you a nice weekend!

I'm back, and here's a new quote for you:

"It came to me, and may a man not keep things that come to him so, at the least as a remembrance?"

Smith to Alf about the star

Very good, Guinevere! The first part of the sentence always reminds me of Gollum's similar one about the Ring...

:) It made me think of Gollum too!

Here is a longish one:

"--/ ----/ ----------/ ------/ -----'-/ --/ ----/ --/ ----/, ---/ --/ --/ ----/ --/ ----/ --/ -------/ --/ ---/ ---/ -----/, -/ -----/ ----/ ---/; ---/ -/ -----/ ---/ ---/ -----/, ---/ ----/ -/ -----/ -----/ ----------/ --/ --------/ -----------/."

Well then, let's hope there are lots of Ts in that nice long quote.

"o"s?

TO

"--/ t---/ ---t------/ ------/ -o---'t/ -o/ ----/ -t/ o---/, ---/ --/ --/ ----/ -o/ ----/ --/ -------/ --/ t--/ ---/ -----/, -/ -----/ -o--/ o-t/; ---/ -/ -----/ --t/ ---/ ----t/, ---/ t---/ -/ -----/ -----/ -----t----/ to/ --------/ ---t-------/."
