Gilthoniel, a Elbereth
We remember, we who dwell
In this far land, beneath the trees
The starlight on the western seas.

From memory, that's not bad. I can remember the english translation, not the original elven.

A thought just occurred to me.
We see several people complaining about the English in the QOD. What if we responded to all QOD comments for a given time period in another language? Think that would ruffle some more feathers?
Klingon?
Any language you like. It would be a real hoot if everybody was speaking a different language:-D

The question should also be posted in a different language.
