No lathspell you should not feel stupid, this isn't a well known quote. I don't think this will be much help.

Hmm, one or two words stand out, but it's still not clear. What about a P?

Oh, wait, I know it! It's Haldir, in FotR:

"Some there are among us who sing that the Shadow will draw back, and peace shall come again. Yet I do not believe that the world about us will ever again be as it was of old, or the light of the Sun as it was aforetime."

Oops, I think my previous version had the wrong number of gaps in the 8th word. This is the correct version.

What about an S?

And I know exactly what you mean about crosswords. I find it helps to copy down the spaces and try different letter combinations in the gaps. Not that I'm taking this too seriously or anything... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
