How do you say “they wandered shyly hand in hand*, or rolicked in the fairië sand” From the cottage of lost play. *(holding hands)
Who says that exactly in the cottage of lost play? I need that info to add it to the waiting line.
It was origionally a poen written by Tolkien, the whole thing is only one narrative. Prior to being incorporated in The Book of Lost Tales, It’s either Lindo or Vairë narrating. I just assume it was Lindo.
Here, this is what I got from the Tolkien Gateway:
Lindo was the wise keeper of the Cottage of Lost Play in Tol Eressëa. His wife was Vairë, and his father was Valwë.[1]
I was reading my copy of the book too to recall some further details about this poem. Thank you for delving it with me.
Isn’t it then “We wandered shyly hand in hand, Or rollicked in the fairy sand” instead of “they”?
can you translate the last stanza for the Cottage of Lost Play:
‘But why it was there came a time
When we could take the road no more,
Though long we looked, and high would climb,
Or gaze from many a seaward shore
To find the path between sea and sky
To those old gardens of delight;
And how it goes now in that land,
If there the house and gardens stand,
Still filled with children clad in white–
We know not, You and I.
And why it was Tomorrow came
And with his grey hand led us back;
And why we never found the same
Old cottage, or the magic track
That leads between a silver sea
And those old shores and gardens fair
Where all things are, that ever were–
We know not, You and Me.’
Before adding to the waiting line, I need to know exactly who says those words in this particular last stanza. I cannot recall. Help me out with this additional info and I’ll be able to do it for you.
It’s one of Tolkiens poems. It was written in 1915 and is published in The Book of Lost Tales Part One and it doesn’t really mention who “says” it.
Oh, I see! Well then, it’s added to the waiting line! Thank you for helping!

Hello,
I’m looking for a translation of “magic deeper still.”
The phrase is taken from The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe:
“‘It means,’ said Aslan, ‘that though the Witch knew the Deep Magic, there is a magic deeper still which she did not know. Her knowledge goes back only to the dawn of time. But if she could have looked a little further back, into the stillness and the darkness before Time dawned, she would have read there a different incantation. She would have known that when a willing victim who had committed no treachery was killed in a traitor’s stead, the Table would crack and Death itself would start working backward.'”
Thanks!
