tar-ancalime has just left Hobbiton.
Ring

In Salman Rushdie's novel The Ground Beneath Her Feet, he quotes TOlkien as follows:

Ash nazg durbatuluk, ash nazg gimbatul, ash nazg thrakatuluk agh burzum-ishi krimpatul!

I don't remember the exact context, and as I lent my copy of the book to a friend (and don't really expect to have it back) I can't look it up. It's a wonderful book, though: a modern reworking of the Orpheus myth.
