But there you can only see the stars, you can only see what you don't understand.

Nope, later.

Refer to Lothlórien?

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
I would have to say yes, sort of.
"Spirits in the shape of hawks and eagles flew ever to and from his halls; and their eyes could see to the depths of the seas, and pierce the hidden caverns beneath the world."

So, not used in *describing* Lothlórien?

No, not describing Lothlórien, but certainly related to Lothlórien.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
During the time the fellowship halted in Lothlórien?

Yes.

Oh wait, is this when Sam is invited to look at the Mirror, and remarks that he'll probably only see stars or something he can't understand?

You are indeed on the right track!

"But there, like as not I'll only see the stars, or something that I won't understand."
Odd that the pronoun got changed - otherwise, I probably would have recognized it sooner.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
That's the one. If the pronoun hadn't changed, I wouldn't have used it. It was pretty unchanged otherwise.

Re: The Tolkien Translation Game!
