its just mixed up to us because we're not used to it. nobody talks like that anymore, sadly (but my sister and I had an entire conversation talking like they do in Tolkiens books just for fun!) Just put the emphasis (right word?) on 'all'. "All that is gold does not glitter" means, simply put, that "not everything gold is shiny". And if you look at modern jewelry, not everythin shiny is gold... tee hee
