The palantir.

Quote:
'About the palantiri of the Kings of Old' said Gandalf.
'And what are they?'
'The name meant that which looks far away. The Orthanc-stone was one'
Chapter XI - The Palantir, Book Three, The Two Towers, LotR.

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
I have read some of the posts above with joy. Allow me to jump in:

"Po-ta-toes." followed by your quote, of course.

I don't have my copy of The Two Towers handy, but it is from the chapter "Of Herbs and Stewed Rabbit".

Now, to think up something to ask...

Ah! A trollish insult, same as a kind of bird...

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Answer: Valacirca

"And high in the north as a challenge to Melkor she set the crown of seven mighty stars to swing, Valacirca, the Sickle of the Valar and sign of doom."

The Silmarillion, Quenta Silmarillion, "Of the Coming of the Elves", p. 48.

Re: The Tolkien Quoting Trivia
Good job you're correct!

And the answer to yours?

A Tipsy Cat...

Quote:
The ostler has a tipsy cat
that plays a five-stringed fiddle;
And up and down he runs his bow,
Now squeaking high, now purring low,
now sawing in the middle.
