OK, that hint was quite clear, thanks! I don't have The Lay of Aotrou and Itroun anywhere (can you tell me where it's been published?), but I do have a brief summary of it in Tom Shippey's J.R.R.Tolkien: Author of the Century, so I can make an educated guess. The speaker is the Corrigan, speaking to Aotrou.
Wow, you did find a very obscure work there, HI! [img]smilies/rolleyes.gif[/img]
