What do you "assign" to the Shire? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I assign to the Shire a good book, no peanut butter or corn, and a cool place to sleep

I would like to assign hot chocolate with two marshmallows on top.

Thermals, that keep me warm in winter...along with a pair of wooly socks for good measures.

Happy Celtic music...cool, misty, early summer mornings...hollyhocks...herb gardens.

Roller skating! The parts where I don't fall down, anyway.

I assign Britain. The feeling of riding on the trains. Looking out your window and seeing the beautiful green and brilliantly yellow hills, passing gorgeous brick houses and green leafy trees. Riding through picturesque village and smoggy city. It's all beautiful in its own way.
The feeling of pure bliss of a long anticipated holiday, even though you know it will end, and the longed for return.
And taking trains with your friends. That is always fun!

Oh, and did I mention having tea?

I would assign anyone to the Shire who can translate this for me in Quenya:

And that I said my limbs were old;
And that I said my blood was cold,
And that my kindly fire was fled,
And that my withered heart was dead,
And that I might not sing of love? -
How could I to the dearest theme
That ever warmed a minstrel's dream,
So foul, so false, a recreant prove!
How could I name my love's very name,
Nor wake my harp to notes of flame!

Could someone please translate that for me? I would be very, very grateful.

Cheers!

Lounging in the back of the library and chatting away to glory with friends while the librarian remains in oblivion

The satisfied feeling you get when you finish a huge project

Falling asleep thinking about things in very bad Finnish. Well... Finnish/English hybrid.
