New one
Here's a passage I really love!
And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness. |

dunedain lady
yes, isn't is just wonderful! I think Tolkein had to be a hopeless romantic to be able to write stuff like that!

Re: hint
Woohoo! I found it!
It is describing the minstrel at Minas Tirith, and the next line is "And at the last, as the sun fell from the noon and the shadows of the trees lengthened, he ended. 'Praise them with great praise,' he said and knelt." Here's mine: "But it's going to him, yes, nearer every step." (T2T) |

let's see....this sounds like maybe Gollum talking about the ring? But I haven't found it yet. Am I close?

Re: answer
Yes you are. I'd find it, but I can't find my copy of the Two Towers (Probably behind the desk or something).

Answer
Yesssss!
This is when Gollum was talking to himself, while Frodo slept, and Sam was secretly watching. "What's the hobbit going to do with it we wonders, yes we wonders." New one coming, just a sec... |

This is probably too easy:
"A day draws near that I have looked for in all the years of my mannood, and when it comes I would have my friends beside me." |

Re: new one
yay! finally one I can get: Aragorn in The Steward and the King, talking of course of his marriage to Arwen. "But of that day he would say no more". (This is a poignant moment in which we get a glimpse of Aragorn's long and patient wait, and I'm glad to some extent that the movies will bring this out.)
Here's mine: Let us leave this--did you say what you call it? |

I know who said, I even know the chapter, but I'm at school and don't know the exact wording of the next line, damn it.

That is Treebeard talking to Pippin and Merry!
"Hill?" suggested Pippin. OK, here's a new one: "Stir not the bitterness in the cup that I mixed for myself, "... |

Re: answer
Have I not tasted it now many nights upon my tongue, forboding that worse yet lay in the dregs?
Next He's got other mills like it. |

"But you've got to have grist before you can grind; and there was no more for the new mill to do than the old." (RotK-The Scouring of the Shire - Cotton talking to Merry)
"There are some who would begin to doubt whether your errand is fit to tell," said the old man. |

Re: answer
This one was hard. Gandalf to Aragorn, Legolas and Gimli in Fangorn just before they realize it's him: "Happily I know something of it."
"'His message is less bad than that, if not good,' said Pippin." |
