It is one of the best known elvish greetings: "A star shines on the hour of our meeting." There are a couple of decent books on Tolkien's languages, one is British and out-of-print, the other is new and quite good. THE LANGUAGES OF TOLKIEN'S MIDDLE EARTH. Ruth S. Noel. (about $20 in softcover, readily available) As to the Klingon, I gave donsimpson a copy of Hamlet in Klingon that I found up at the Shakespeare festival in Ashland last year. It was interesting to read the notes surrounding the play. :wide evil grin: Carolly
My husband has a Klingon Bible, as in, "The Holy Bible", translated into Klingon. Or maybe it's just the New Testament, can't remember... ;-) He doesn't actually read Klingon, but we've got a big collection of Bible translations (including Greek and Hebrew), and it was a funny addition to the collection. bonni

Yes indeed Tallpockets. Just baffles the mind. To the topic at hand.... thee immortal one: Doesn't sound like such a forum is going to be created. Someone may have suggested this in an earlier response (I admit I didn't read every response, my eyes started glazing over the OT stuff) but I'll state my suggestion here anyway. Looks like you already signed up for another account to post this thread. Use this account and express your dark side there free from stigmatizing your other works. I understand the need for anonymity and the need to express ones self and I say go for it! For those that shy from the darkness. I say there is darkness and light within all of us. Deny the darkness, fear it, pretend it's not there and you deny a part of yourself. I'm not saying you should act on it and go on a murderous rage or something like that NO....DO NO HARM....find a constructive way to express yourself. Art and writing are great examples.
The lack of support for a forum that focuses on darkness is not because people are afraid of or shying away from darkness - that seems a dramatic assumption. I guess the main question I had when reading this thread was "Why does this type of art deserve a forum over all other types of art?" I don't see any reason, other than that the original poster asked for anonymity in posting the images. There are many "dark" images in the galleries already, so it's obvious that they are allowed (unless they cross the lines of the TOS, that is). If the reason for asking for a special forum and for anonymity in posting these images is to go beyond the TOS restrictions, then the images probably wouldn't be allowed here anyway. If we get a special forum for "darkness", then it would only be fair to create a forum for every other special interest or special belief system or other social commentary. And, as a philosophical comment, life isn't about embracing the light side OR the dark side. It's about acknowledging that BOTH exist, and learning how to balance them effectively. There are many shades of gray between white and black. 8-)
Those who think anonymity is hiding - Please post your real names (first and last) to this thread. Amber Frederick
