assuming that is the next quote (and not an explanation of rareness of visits to the BD ), I'd say that would be Farmer Giles, trying to get out of dragon-hunting duties

Indeed it might be Farmer Giles, but it isn't.
As to my scarceness of late, chalk it up to that affliction called life.

Hmmmm, that is tricky! Sounds like it could be from one of the essays, since I don't recall a line like that in one of the fictional works. However, I have no idea where to start looking - will you give a hint, please?

Thanks for the clue - that narrowed it down, and I found it in Tolkien's essay 'A Secret Vice' - he himself is the speaker.

This quote won't be hard to locate, but I find it so captivating that I want to share it. It is so beautiful and so typically Tolkien, reminding of his legendarium, though not belonging to Middle-earth:
Quote:
...the moon rose up out of the sea, and laid the silver path across the waters that is the way to places at the edge of the world and beyond, for those that can walk on it.

he himself

Author's narrative from the Roverandom (possibly describing Rover's thoughts as he was left sleepless adn observant by the boy's bedside)

Just an idea - should we open up a thread for "he himself quoteth' kind of quotes? Where it would be clear Tolkien himself uttered the words, but circumstances should be guessed/figured/remembered out? What d'ya think?

Right answer, HI - and yes, I was so enthused about that sentence that I didn't stop to think that it's not a quote! I'm not sure it's worth opening up another thread for authorial statements, since we don't have many participants, but when we run out of quotes, we may want to do that...

That'd be Tolkien himself again, quoting some Dacent (sp?), but applying the quote differently: Under soup, Dacent(sp?) meant the guesses of comparative philology and under bones the working out process, whilst Tolkien meant Fairy Tale as presented by its author and its sources respectively

um, where to?

but, to be honest, I know where to:

to the streets, for it was Garn inviting villagers to see the great show of blunderbass-to-get-rid-of-giants-tresspassing as performed by Aegidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo, or, in vulgar, Giles

Either Giles to Chrysophylax, or vice versa (in both their meetings something similar was uttered by both antagonists). I'd cast my vote on the dragon, who was just flying about (=chasing knights down the slope) and stumbled unto Giles around a corner

I've been searching for this one, looking through all of the minor works that could have someone addressed as "lord" - I started with The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun, looked through Farmer Giles, and even skimmed Sir Gawain and the Green Knight, which I haven't actually read yet, but I can't find it. Could you give a clue, please?

'Good morning, lord!' said Giles, as cheerful as day, not waiting to be spoken to.
You didn't look hard enough, Estelyn. It's Farmer Giles to Augustus B. A. A. P. and M. rex et cetera on the bridge at Ham. The King has come to collect his 'rightful' tribute: the treasures of Chrysophylax, and to punish Giles for his recalcitrance and insubordination in not travelling straight to court after winning them. He is destined to be disappointed in both ambitions.
