All right then, it's Gandalf in LotR Book II, The Bridge of Khazad-dûm:
"If the sun is shining outside, we may still escape. After me!"

Correct indeed. Your turn, Pitchwife.

Thanks! Now I hope my latin hasn't got too rusty over the decades:

Quote:

"E mare magno mediam in terram adveni; hic manebo atque manebunt heredes mei ad finem mundi."

Guinevere · 08-04-2009, 01:26 PM

I translate your Latin back to "Elven Latin":

"Et Eärello Endorenna utúlien. Sinome maruvan ar Hildinyar tenn' Ambar-metta!"

(Elendil's oath: "Out of the Great Sea to Middle-earth I am come.
In this place I will abide, and my heirs, unto the ending of the world.")

Pitchwife · 08-04-2009, 02:45 PM

Correct, Guinevere! Thread is all yours.
(Where did you get that cool 'flash of inspiration' smilie, by the way?)

Guinevere · 08-11-2009, 02:04 PM

Thank you, Pitchwife

and please excuse the delay! (I borrowed the smilie from the German Tolkien Forum "Elronds Haus")
OK, here is a new quote, in French again :

Quote:

Une femme doit partager l'amour de son mari avec son travail et le feu de son esprit, autrement elle fait de lui une chose non aimable.

Nerwen · 08-11-2009, 09:56 PM

"A woman must share her husband's love with his work and the fire of his spirit, or make him a thing not lovable."

-Núneth to Erendis.
