(guessing) Prince Imrahil of Dol Amroth - when he pointed out that Eowyn was not actually dead, although badly hurt at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields?

Good guess! Your turn---

Wow that was good.

The whole sequence involving Eowyn at the Pelennor is one of my favourite parts of LOTR

I would say this is a Level 2 or possibly 2.5:

. . . we are but mortal Men, and unlike the Eldar. They may endure for long years awaiting battle with their enemies in some far distant day; but for us the time is short, and our hope and strength soon wither.

Marbretherese, nothing, absoutely nothing, comes to mind for this quote. Is it from the Silmarillion?

That makes two of us are geniuses.

This character's story appears in The Book of Lost Tales AND The Silmarillion , I believe - but the quote itself is taken from a much more recent version of the tale.

Are we talking about something in Children of hurin???

I'll go farther on the limb: is it Turin?

Posted: **Tue Dec 04, 2007 1:57 pm**

It's not Turin, Merry, but you & Gil are right - the quote is from CoH - and you are very close to the right answer . . .!
