Thank you, Cailin! Some Italian again, since German would probably be much too easy for you. (I could try Swiss-German dialect though, next time...)

I think it's

"I see a white stream that comes down from the snows, where it issues from the shadow of the vale a green hill rises upon the east. A dike and mighty wall and thorny fence encircle it."

That would be Legolas describing Edoras.

Thumbs up Danke!

Here's Esperanto:
Quote:
"Mi esperas, ke mi neniam odoros la odoron de pomoj denove!" diris ___. "Mia barelo estis enspacata per ghi! Odori pomojn chiame kiam oni povas apenau movi kaj estas malsana per malsato estas freneziganta. Mi povas manghi ion ajn en la vasta mondo nun, dum senfinaj horoj - sed ne pomon!"
ch and gh should be read as c and g with circumflexes above.
