Exactly, Heren Istarion
As I recently said in another of these Quote threads: I think the real reason why we play these games is not only the fun of guessing, but to have a pretext to post those sentences we're fond of...

But it's a pity that there are only so few that frequent this thread nowadays... I loved the variety of posters and languages!

[HerenIstarion]

Well, watching grey light of dawn creeping along the floor of my room, I have no chance rummaging with languages I have no great mastery of, so its Russian again:

La longue vie qu'ils étaient garantis les deçoit , et ils lambinent dans le monde, des enfants en esprit, jusqu'à ce que la vieillesse les trouve, et alors beaucoup d'entre eux abandonnent seulement les jeux de dehors par des jeux dans leur maisons.

[HerenIstarion]

Be ashamed those who blame Tolkien of inability to describe gender relationships. That'd be Erendis, in her complaint about men in general, but particularly aimed at Aldarion:

[HerenIstarion]

My apologies for a delay, sorry.

Dear Mariska,

Would you be so kind to take it over again? Just I find myself a tiny bit busy of late (the drop of freqency of my posting may have been noted ). I will certainly come back when circumstances elswhere take the grip off me

thanks and cheers

[Mariska Greenleaf]

I will gladly do so.
This next one is in Dutch, good luck!
