Russian to go on:

"Seldom in my life has any boat come out of the North, and the orcs prowl on the east-shore, " said Boromir, " If you go forward, peril will grow with every mile, even if you find a path."

Boromir to Aragorn.

"Hij mag dan wel van schepen houden, mijn dochter, omdat ze gemaakt zijn door het verstand en de handen van mannen; maar ik denk dat het niet de winden of de grote zeeën zijn die zijn hart in vuur zetten, en ook niet de aanblik van vreemde landen, maar een warmte in zijn hoofd, of één of andere droom die hem achtervolgt."

"Ships he may love, my daughter, for those are made by men's minds and hands; but I think that it is not the winds or the great waters that so burn his heart, nor yet the sight of strange lands, but some heat in his mind, or some dream that pursues him." Nuneth to Erendis, Aldarion and Erendis, Unfinished Tales.
