Turambar:[quote]I was reading UT last night and I thought there was a short section (in the Istari chapter I think) that looked like Old English as Bb has described it - each line was halved, equal number stresses in each half, etc. Does anyone remember what I'm talking about, or have this book handy? It was past my bedtime, so I may have imagined the whole thing.[quote] :takes out her handy-dandy UT [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]: I think I know what you're talking about. This one?: ------------------------ Wilt thou learn the lore of the Five that came One only returned. under Men's dominion until Dagor Dagorath How hast thou heard it: of the Lord's of the West The long roads are lost and to mortal Men From the West-that-was to the sleeper's ear, under night-shadow, from lands forgotten over seas of years Not all are forgotten Sauron he saw [and the other half:] that was long secret from a far country? Others never again Middle-earth shall seek and the Doom cometh. the hidden counsel in the land of Aman? that led tither, Manwe speaks not. a wind bore it in the silences when news is brought and lost ages to the searching thought. by the Elder King. a slow menace.... -------------------------- Sorry about the line spacing, but it couldn't fit, and it's hard enough trying to type it from a paper-back I'm trying to keep wrinkle-free...I hope It's the right one, because it's the only one that fit your description. It came from pg. 413 in my book.But if this isn't it-it's probably your imagination [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] . This is intersting-i'll leave the answering to Bb. [right now I've got to go. Got lots or school work to do and I don't intend to procrastinate!] BTW:I'm also reading the UT, but I'm still on The Disaster of the Gladden Fields... |
