It still probably took you quicker to find it than it took me to find a quote which I could invert and still make sense of!

You are, of course, correct, Deadnight Chanter. Take it away ...

Well, thank you

next up:

Quote:

Loathsome he will become
For so it is concelaed in an orkish battle-cry
And shells of his bare scalp
Will bear undiluted blemish

Hmmmmm, at first I thought it was the passage where Gandalf speaks of Frodo becoming like a glass filled with clear light, but that doesn't fit. A clue, please?

HerenIstarion · 04-01-2004, 02:05 AM

hum, it is a verse, and though it sounds like a horrible curse as it is now, original is quite a lovely description

HerenIstarion · 04-03-2004, 02:18 AM

more hints, than - female instead of male, past tense.

I think we need a big hint, like which book it's from.

Estelyn Telcontar · 04-08-2004, 02:46 AM

*sigh*

I agree!

Thanks to this huge hint...

Lovely was she
as in elven-song is told:
She had pearls in hair
all threaded fair
