I believe it is Gollum's darkness riddle:

Quote:

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt,
Cannot be heard, cannot be smelt.
It lies behind stars and under hills,
And empty holes it fills.
It comes first and follows after,
Ends life, kills laughter.

Now I just need to find a suitable quote...

Hakon · 06-20-2009, 09:32 PM

You got it. Good luck finding a quote to use.

I've gotten this far.
I'm thinking that it might be a riddle from Riddles in the Dark, but I'm not certain.

Hakon · 06-21-2009, 03:44 PM

Eönwë already got it. It is Gollum's darkness riddle.

Anyone else want to give it a go?

Eönwë · 07-10-2009, 10:04 AM

Oh.

I don't know whether this one has been done before, but here's an easy one...

edit: actually, first a question- do I need to include punctuation marks?

Do include them. Check out the last two of three for the format.

I know it:

-Gandalf the Grey commenting on Bilbo's manners at the beginning of the Hobbit.

Eönwë · 07-13-2009, 01:24 PM

Yup. TGEW has it.

Bilbo and Gandalf's "good morning" discussion has always been one of my favourite parts of the hobbit.

I've always liked it too. Blimey, I don't think I can do this round until next week, we're going camping. If you want to wait that long for another quote, than I would be happy to do it. If you don't want to wait a week, then pick someone else to do the next quote.
