The Dread Pirate Roberts · 09-15-2008, 09:47 AM

Only partially correct:

Oh my, I've seen that O Tuor of the lonely heart soooo many times now ...

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 09-16-2008, 01:56 PM

All correct. We're close now.

I've made a list, checking what has been rejected:

for far from/ _e_c_/is /_h_/weird/_e_/.
"the/w_i_d/ sea" has been rejected
"men" has been rejected

the/_o_d_l_/shall escort thee thither
(no guesses)

maybe thy/_i_e/shall turn
"like" has been rejected

a/_h_l_/shall come/ of thee
"while" has been rejected

of the sea or of the/_i_m_m_n_/of heaven.
(no guesses)

I've only made two new guesses now, though ...

***Earniel*** · 09-25-2008, 02:45 PM

I'll add two more:

...thy life shall turn...

.... a child shall come...

***Varnafindë*** · 09-26-2008, 10:20 AM

/firmament/of heaven ???

I don't think we've guessed the speaker - or have we?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 09-29-2008, 09:38 AM

Thy, life, child, and firmament are correct. I don't think there have been any speaker guesses yet, but it's been awhile and I haven't checked back on the previous pages.

O Tuor of the lonely heart, I will not that thou dwell for ever in fair places of birds and flowers; nor would I send thee through this pleasant land, o but that so it must be. But fare now on thy destined journey and tarry not, for far from/ _e_c_/is thy weird/_e_/. Now must thou seek through the lands for the city of the folk called Gondothlim or the dwellers in stone, and the/_o_d_l_/shall escort thee thither in secret for fear of the spies of Melko. Words I will set to your mouth there, and there you shall abide awhile. Yet maybe thy life shall turn again to the mighty waters; and of a surety a child shall come/ of thee than whom no man shall know more of the uttermost deeps, be it of the sea or of the firmament of heaven.

***Varnafindë*** · 09-29-2008, 12:54 PM

Would the speaker be Ulmo?

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 09-29-2008, 12:59 PM

Yes it would be Ulmo.

The Dread Pirate Roberts · 10-10-2008, 01:46 PM

The last three words aren't all that uncommon. Not in Tolkien's works at least.

***Varnafindë*** · 05-20-2009, 09:10 PM

High time to make another try at this one:

for far from/ _e_c_/is thy weird/net/. Now must thou seek through the lands for the city of the folk called Gondothlim or the dwellers in stone, and the/Noldoli/shall escort thee thither in secret

I don't think any of them make sense ...

***Valandil*** · 05-20-2009, 11:16 PM

Yes, for many moons has this one tarried here.

'...far from peace...'?

'...weird bed...'??
