You picked the wrong one. But the correct one is there in your list also, ready to be picked ...

Unfortunately not ...

I repeat the text for the new page.

"But dost thou not now remember, Kementari, that thy thought
sang not always alone? Did not thy thought and mine meet also,
so that we took wing together like great birds that soar above
the clouds? That also shall come to be by the /_e_d/ of Iluvatar,
and before the children awake there shall go forth with wings
like the wind the Eagles of the Lords of the West."

The speaker hasn't been found yet.

No, 'seed' and 'deed' and 'need' were guessed on the previous page, and none of them is the right word.

bead, dead, head, mead, read, geld, held, meld, veld, weld, bend, fend, lend, mend, pend, rend, send, tend, vend, wend, herd, nerd, feud, lewd, feed, geed, heed, meed, peed, reed, teed, weed,

Is it head? I'm so confused. None of these sound like they fit there!

I think I might look this up, to keep it going. Princess Varna! Look and see if I'm right or wrong!

Sorry I didn't see it the first time ...

'head' isn't right, but you're very close ... and the right word is there on your list.

I can't make any of them make sense... I'm slowly going away and away from sense.

Glad to see that you've come back to your senses

'heed' it is!

Now we only need the speaker - might be easier than that pesky last word ...

No clue. If it's from Sil or UT, I'm probably never going to get it.

I'll guess, though. Is it ... morgoth? Or whatever his name was before it was morgoth... Mortar?

I'm afraid it is from one of those ...

Fair guess, but no. You mean Melkor - but it wasn't him.

Yeah... that guy. I am not even sure I own UT. It sounds like some kind of elf talking to some other kind of elf. I don't remember very many old elves' names, except for the ones in LOTR, or like.. Feanor and Finrod, etc. Feanor's the only one I know what he did. It's like a history class. If I were taking a history class in ME, I'd totally fail it.

I feel silly making a guess because I literally have no definite idea. Uh... Galadriel?

Manwë?

(If so, Midge can take the quote if she wants, since she did all the work for it.)

It might sound like "some kind of elf", but it's more like one level above that - it's one Vala talking to another Vala.

And Eärniel is right that it is Manwë (who is talking to Yavanna, also called Kementári, who possibly created the Ents).

Eärniel then has the right to bestow the honor and labor of doing the next quote game upon someone else

Some kind of being higher than an elf talking to some other kind of being higher than an elf. If I'd paid more attention in my Tolkien history book, I would have known that Yavanna was called Kementári.

If Earn wants me to do the quote, I would be honored. I simply wanted credit to be given where it was due (as in... to all the other people who figured out the meat of the quote).
