Was it Melian?

It was not Melian.

Yavanna speaking of the inability of the olvar to defend themselves

Spot on as usual Master Mac!

Okay, it´s been more than a week now, so anyone can go. (I can´t right now, haven´t got the book with me.)

Here goes nothing....

"Yea, with both hands shall......"

There it is, fairly easy one I think. Beren or someone will probly get it five mins after I post [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img].
Good Luck all.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

Nah, I had to wake up first.

It was Melkor to Ungoliant somewhere in Avathar.

It was easy to find as the word "Yea" doesn't occur all that often. Plus I'm right around there in my re-reading.

Good job Beren, your turn.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

Yavanna after Morgoth and Ungoliant killed the trees maybe?

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

Nope, not what I'm thinking of.

A hint?

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

It was an elf, and it was said during a "speech" to people.

Im going to say that it was part of Faenors speech (i cant remember how to do the funky e with the dots for his name, sorry), when he was trying to get the elves to leave Valinor and pursue Morgoth.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

Good enough!

To do that "funky thing above the e" you push ALT + 0235. E is the only letter I remember 'cause its used quite often.

"It is not within my power to pardon those of my own order."

Good luck all.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

I found this... Which is just narration, not an actual quote. But its the only thing I've found that even remotly matches..

Dondagnirion?

Um...Dondagnirion isn´t responding, so..maybe we should just move on. Do you want to post a new quote, Beren?

Sorry, that was it Beren. What I was thinking of anyway. I am sorry it was not really a quote, I did not have my book at the time. Your turn Beren.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

Beren won't be around for a while I'm afraid (see Quiz room Note) so I will keep this thread going.
Sorry if this has been asked already.

That sounds like Manwe to me. Probly wrong tho.

Dondagnirion
"There is no spoon."

Sorry, it wasn't Manwe. Keep guessing! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

A clue perhaps? [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

mandos?

Nope, not Mandos either.
Oh, clue you say? Ok then: 'twas said at the moment of bitter departure.
Hope that helps. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

That was Feanor, right after the Prophecy of the North was given.

(I can't believe I've never noticed this thread before, I love The Silmarillion)

'Twas indeed! And good thing you found this thread, phantom, better now than never. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] Please proceed.

All right...

Do you guys want a hint?

about Gondalin
think think.... Hurin,Beren,Tuor?

Well, you would be right, except that you have three names too many. You know you can eliminate Beren, because he only saw Gondolin from a distance and never met Turgon in person.

Now, which one of the brothers said this, Hurin or Huor. Think. You can do it. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

[ May 18, 2003: Message edited by: the phantom ]

Hurin?

Or maybe Tuor? [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]

You've named the brother and the son so far.

Huor. Sheesh guys.

[img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
You're correct.

Ar-Pharazôn upon the hilltop to his people when the Eagles came down.

Correct.
