Here is the subtitle 'Altariello naine Loriendessse' or 'Galadriel's lament in Lorien'.

Here is a small version of the entire song. It is so small you won't be able to read it, but it's pretty, don't you think? If anyone would like a larger version, I would most gladly email it to them in an attachment.

You hush. I merely wanted to show the others my beautiful book. The Road Goes Ever On is I think the Tengwar bible, with pages and pages of all differant modes drawn by the Master himself. It's out of print and expensive, but I would recommend it.

Well there is more, and also the music, which is what the book is about. (The Tengwar is just decorations in the margins, and pages at the end.)

I think I'll bring The Road Goes Ever On to Starbucks tomorrow so you can see the real thing.
But I will also email it to you. Once you get the Hobbit out of your inbox.

If you've read this whole thread (wow, it's long now) you might remember a post from me somewhere in there about how I could never learn Tengwar.
I am proud to stand (sit?) before you today to declare that I just wrote my entire 3-page Hobbit Journal entry in Tengwar. Sorry, I felt like bragging.

*sigh* I wish ALL of us Tengwar writers could meet at a Starbucks somewhere! That would sure be fun! Lollypopgurl - That's fantastic! Congrats for sticking with it! It's really fun, isn't it?!

The Road Goes Ever On is an out-of-print book you can get used at Amazon.com. (Really crummy editions at $20, good editions $75, seemingly.) It consists of piano music for several songs from LotR. Said songs are written in Tengwar in the margins. (I have a first edition- it's really pretty and I'm sure TC will second that!)
I met TC at Starbucks yesterday. No, she is not a 40 year old pervert. We wrote some Tengwar at each other, I'll scan it in soon so you can see.

Yes. It is extremely pretty. I was practically drooling over it. Sorry for my boyfriend being extremely antagonistic - I think he felt annoyed that someone else got to steal my time. That was fun...Now I've got to go to Seattle and meet the rest of you in some Starbucks on the West Coast!
