Hint on the remaining part of the quote:

Compound word, two parts - both parts have to do with "water", neither part starts with a "w"

We also need a speaker...

If I'm allowed to guess only one of the parts - is the second part 'mist'?

This is a UT quote, if that's helpful to know. Probably makes it less familiar...

Sorry. Have you read them? Or had it just been a long time?

I've read them, I own them - but it's been a rather long time.
And there are some parts I've read less than other parts, too.

Other hints then:

The other half of the compound word... like I said, it has to do with water, and these are generally named.

The speaker is riding a horse. That's pretty clear. But it is significant. And... it's a significant horse!

Rohan? Eorl? Riding the great-great-x times-great-grandfather of Shadowfax?


Edit to add the quote on a new page:

"Ride on! There is no other way to take.
After so long a road should we be held back

Yes, Eorl was the speaker. Felarof was the name of his horse ( I think).

Just the first half of hyphenated word left. And I've mentioned a different person who might have had something to do with it.

You mentioned Galadriel ...
And you said something about waters usually being named.
Perhaps the first part is the name of a river or a lake or even some marshes ...

Still stumped for the actual word/name, though.
