‘Silmesse‘ (meaning ‘Starlight‘ in Quenya) is a poem that was written by Helge K. Fauskanger, a noted elvish-linguist in Tolkien circles.

I must apologize for my recent absence of posting articles here. I run this site entirely by myself and with the release of The Hobbit in theaters, and the massive influx of information released in regards to the movie, as well as the holidays, I was a bit overwhelmed and had to take a step back for a while.
