Inanna, did you remember what the quote was?
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."
Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
No. I'm sorry. My head is a mess nowadays.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Wait, it must be this one:
Frodo, one page later wrote: I might, and I might say "luggage with eyes".
