Gelmir and Arminas speaking to Orodreth , quoting the message that Ulmo had given to Cirdan.

Well, it seems that Mariska isn't around to confirm my answer, but as I know it is correct, I will go ahead and post a new proverb.

"The upclimbing is painful, and from high places it is easy to fall low."

Do you need a hint, or is just nobody looking at this thread?

I'm looking, but it seems to be a Sil quote, and it's been too long since I've read that... A clue sounds good!

Is it Sador in the Narn i Hin Hurin?

Guinevere · 05-14-2004, 04:45 PM

Indeed, it is Sador who said this to Túrin .

Your turn, Son of Númenor!
