Correct though I wanted to go longer on it but I wasn't in the mood which is sad because the whole quote is worthy of it.

Don't need the additional letters, after all:

Quote:
"Even now my heart desires to test my will upon it, to see if I could not wrench it from him and turn it where I would - to look across the wide seas of water and of time to Tirion the Fair, and perceive the unimaginable hand and mind of Fëanor at their work. while both the White Tree and the Golden were in flower!"
Gandalf to Pippin.
Interesting to know, that the the Palantir could be used to look into the past!

(@Mormegil: I had to post quickly first, before you added S and N; for how could I prove that I had guessed the quote without them... )

Try this one:

"----! ---/ ------/ ---/." (.....) "-----/ ---/ -----/ ----/, ----/ ---/ ---/ ---/ ----/, ---/ ----/ ---/ ----/ ---/ ---/ ----/ --------/. -'--/ ---/ ------/ --/ ---/."

I really enjoyed that quote, I think that it shows some of the depth of Gandalf.
