Interesting info, thanks Faramir.

With respect to the part of your post that I quoted, and although I'm guessing the answer is no, but do H&S look at all at the poem Tolkien was thinking of including (Kortirion), but did not include?

I am intrigued that JRRT was thinking of including the updated Kortirion poem, and if so, how it was to be taken from an internal pespective, as it then would have been part of the imagined "translated" corpus.
