I think I have it.
"Andreth, adaneth, the life and love of the Eldar dwells much in memory; and we would rather have a memory that is fair but unfinished than one that goes on to a grievous end."
I love the alliteration in that quote. ![]() |

I only lack 3 words. I'm sure I've never read this, and anyway, I had to give back my HoMe books (which I only had borrowed) so I can't look it up, even if I knew where...
![]() Our ships go now without the wind, and many are made of --t-- that s---r-t- hidden ro--s (rooms?) and they sink not in gale or storm; but they are no longer fair to look upon. sounds somehow like Numenoreans... I just have to keep guessing to find out the material the ships are made of... How about A ?

W for "wave" perhaps?

Phew, that was hard work! *mops brow*
![]() And I had to ask for more than half the alphabet, even though I could guess a large part of the quote much earlier. btw, who makes that statement about the ships? I agree that old wooden sailboats are much more "fair to look upon" than motorboats! (small wonder, my hobby is sailing!) Well, as I said, I don't have any more HoMe volumes now, but I wrote down some quotes, so this thread can still continue for a while... ![]() Quote:

It's Elendil to Herendil.
Did you notice it uses the same kind of alliteration. Once you're aware of it, it's everywhere. ![]() Now, let us try an 'A'. |

Ah, I was right about the Númenorean origin, then.
