You are correct! Nice job.

Wow... Eärniel has not been on Entmoot for over two weeks! A surprise for sure, but we won't be hasty around here so it's not a big deal.

Hoom! Yes, this Ent has been caught napping. But what do you expect, it isn't even spring here yet!

A week later is the first day of spring here - and it is also the coldest day of this winter so far!
I'm only briefly out of bed, so I won't do any quote solving now - but then I know that it's there to be tackled later

"One left as if there was an /_n_r_o_s/_e_l/ behind them,
/_i_l_d/ up with ages of /_e_o_y/ and /l_n_/,/s_o_/, /s_e_d_/ thinking; but their /s_r_a_e/_a_/s_a_k_i_g/_i_h/ the present; /_i_e/_u_/s_i_m_r_n_/o_/t_e/_u_e_/l_a_e_/o_/a/_a_t/_r_e/, or on the ripples of a very deep lake." Forgot we even had a quote posted! Have tried to solve some random words here and there, but can't make anything of it yet.

Came up with a few more words to try.
"One left as if there was an /_n_r_o_s/_e_l/ behind them, filled up with ages of memory and long, slow, steady thinking; but their /s_r_a_e/_a_/s_a_k_i_g/_i_h/ the present; /_i_e/_u_/ shimmmering on the /_u_e_/l_a_e_/o_/a/_a_t/_r_e/, or on the ripples of a very deep lake." Probably didn't need to bold my new tries, since the first were not reviewed yet. Oh well...

Apologies for disappearing. Blame it on the polar vortex visit.
This is what's correct so far. I had to think hard for a moment there to remember where I had taken the quote from! "One _e_t as if there was an /_n_r_o_s/_e_l/ behind them, filled up with ages of memory and long, slow, steady thinking; but their /s_r_a_e/_a_/s_a_k_i_g/_i_h/ the present; /_i_e/_u_/ shimmmering on the /_u_e_/l_a_e_/o_/a/_a_t/_r_e/, or on the ripples of a very deep lake." |

"One felt as if there was an enormous well behind them,
filled up with ages of memory and long, slow, steady thinking; but their /s_r_a_e/ was sparkling with the present; like sun shimmering on the /_u_e_/ leaves of a /_a_t/ tree, or on the ripples of a very deep lake." Is Merry the speaker? Just realized I initially had an extra "m" in shimmering.

Pippin? Maybe he WAS the more poetic one.

The quote was attributed to Pippin at a later age, so that might explain the acquired poetry skills. So, yes, correct.
Surface is also correct. One more word! |

OK - I've really struggled over that last word, trying different letters, and letter combinations. It's got me puzzled... and it's not even that many letters to fill in!

Heh, I'm not surprised, it is not an obvious word. It would be one of those final unsolved words that would stump me time and time again if this was somebody else's quote, rather than my own.
Want a hint? |

OK - yes, a hint please. This has gone nowhere for too long.

HINT: the last word refers to the position of the leaves.
