Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
Is it Legolas, speaking to Gimli after the latter has expressed dismay at leaving Lothlórien and Galadriel behind: "For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream."
"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."

Yes and yes....and yes.
"Nay!" said Legolas. "Alas for us all! And for all that walk the world in these after-days. For such is the way of it: to find and lose, as it seems to those whose boat is on the running stream. But I count you blessed, Gimli son of Glóin: for your loss you suffered of your own free will, and you might have chosen otherwise..."
