How about:

...where the noldor slew the +o+m+i+e+s and stealing d+e+ their white ships...

You got that much, and you still don't know? Gawd, no one reads Silmarillion these days.

Just joking, though. But I'm sure the next person who comes onto this thread would know.

Quote:

There's still one word, but it's stumping me, and I looked in the Sil, not thouroughly mind you, but I looked in the chapter "Of The Flight Of The Noldor" and the only other chapter I can think that quote would be in would be when Galadriel is talking to Melian of the exile of the Noldor. And I'm to lazy to go look.

Besdies, have to go to bed. School in the morning.

Mmf. Critism accepted. -smarts- Or it's just me who loves this quote and no one is going to get it anyway. Anyway, as I deleted the post, here is the hint again: In Silm, a line in poetry, there's precious few poetry in Silms so it would not be hard to find.

No one posted in the space of a week, so I'll try a bump.

Alright...I finally took the time to look it up...(rising mightly to the task

)

From the Lay of Leithian:
Then the gloom gathered; darkness growing in Valinor, the red blood flowing beside the Sea, where the Nolder slew the Foamriders, and stealing drew their white ships with their white sails from lamplit havens.
