THE SONG OF LÚTHIEN (excerpt) text by J.R.R. TOLKIEN, translation by DAVID SALO ( SINDARIN ) Tinúviel elvanui Elleth alfirin edhelhael Hon ring finnil fuinui A renc gelebrin thiliol. (( Tinúviel the elven fair, Immortal maiden elven-wise About him cast her shadowy hair And arms like silver glimmering. ))
