@jeroen94704@fosstodon.org ...Aaaaaannnndd I just found a whole new motherlode of primary material to cross-reference 😱✨
Elvish-language poems, in Tengwar script, written by the man himself: https://mindstalk.net/bkxyzzy/tolkien/roadGoesEverOn.pdf
Some is Sindarin I think, and nobody asked but I'm sticking to Quenya for this translation
Can already see myself putting half of today into this, so I'd better eat something & do some Tasks before I hit those slippery slopes... Once again, I really appreciate the prompt :D

@jeroen94704@fosstodon.org Listened to the song while making lunch! A) that's gorgeous B) the chorus reminds me of "The Temple" from Jesus Christ Superstar – a similar sense of urgent, collective pleading C) it led me to this, which reaffirms my belief that someday, if not already, there will be a cult of David Gilmour https://youtu.be/P7YMI39sObY

@alexglow@chaos.social I can't help but feel a little guilty for causing this kind of time-sink, but I have to say the part you have so far is absolutely gorgeous!
