ack! have to go to work in a few.

Marikirya, 4rth stanza(out of 5) by.JRR Tolkein

Man cenuva lumbor ahosta
Who shall see the clouds gather,
Menel acuna
the heavens bending
ruxal' ambonnar,
upon crumbling hills,
ear ambortala,
the sea heaving,
undume hacala,
the abyss yawning,
enwina lume
the old darkness
elenillor pella
beyond the stars
talta-taltala
falling
atalantie mindonnar?
upon fallen towers?
Ardalambion, the tongues of arda, an excellent Tolkein language site and
The text of the whole of the above poem with translation and word for word analysis
and for the super geeky, like me,
The Quenya course, from the above site

edited to include intralinear translation! +typo in elenillor.

damn, now I really have to leave for work!
