Gandalf's ''fly,you fools'' quote on: February 06, 2017 03:55
When Gandalf was knocked down from the Balrog of Morgoth,he said ''fly you fools''.Did he quite literally,to fly to Mordor with the Eagles,and, based in your opinion,would the Eagles accept such a thing?I want to hear some opinions going on here!
Ah, no. Here I believe we have a case of JRRT using somewhat archaic language (and PJ retaining the phrase in the movie, unchanged). Fly in this sense means flee.
