I really am trying to figure this out with the letters you've given me....but I don't have much practice yet...

How 'bout giving an E.

kedoke, I'm about to skiddaddle out of this place, so I can't study on it any more just now. But I'll be back in a bit, hopefully, and then see what I can figure out.

K, since Guinevere is gone, can we assume you got it and you post a new puzzle?

Oh, goodness, it's so close, yet I can't see it.

Nice to know that I'm still keeping people guessing!

Folwren · 09-08-2010, 05:53 PM

I am SO bad at this that although I have most of the words pieced together, I still cannot say I know where it is from...

I can't believe we haven't bit into that first word yet...

A, please.

Folwren · 09-08-2010, 05:58 PM

Side note, I fear that if this is a quote from anywhere other than LotR I am lost. Eh well.

Folwren · 09-09-2010, 08:47 AM

Right, well, I give up. I've been able to put most of the words together for a while now, and new letters just confirm my suspicion. I just can't place the quote.

Tuor in Gondolin · 09-09-2010, 11:37 AM

Folwren · 09-09-2010, 04:00 PM

Does the first word have a T in it?

Faramir Jones · 09-10-2010, 01:06 AM

Yes, it does:

"B-t as a-- can see, we wear- soon an- -ie; an- b- mischance man- meet -eath e-en sooner."

Folwren · 09-10-2010, 07:30 AM

Okay, well, I think the quote runs like so:

"But as all can see, we weary soon and die; and by mischance many meet death even sooner."

However, as I can neither say who said it nor where it is from, I can do no more.
