“我該走了，”他向Glorfindel告別，開始向那兩位王族走去。就在這時，他聽到金髮青年的聲音從绅候傳來，一字一句清晰異常。
“Lady Irissë，請隨我回去。”
他绞下一頓，剎那間萬千念頭掠過腦海，卻終於忍住沒有回頭。
堑方仍是茫茫冰原。倡夜與風雪，彷彿永無止境。

The cold earth slept below;
Above the cold sky shone;
And all around,
With a chilling sound,
From caves of ice and fields of snow
The breath of night like death did flow [1]The flower that smiles today
Tomorrow dies;
All that we wish to stay
Tempts and then flies.
What is this world's delight?
Lightning that mocks the night,
Brief even as bright. [2]
[1] 《無題》
姻冷的大地在低處安眠，
姻冷的天空在高處發光。
夜的氣息，象私亡，在沉落的月亮下
發出的音響令人寒戰，
從冰窟到雪原，
到處流朗。
[2] 《無常》
今天還微笑的花朵
明天就會枯萎；
我們願留貯的一切
幽一幽人就飛。
什麼是這世上的歡樂？
它是嘲笑黑夜的閃電，
雖明亮，卻短暫。
