La la la, geeking out over Quenya translation

[luzula]

Inspired by my last post, have a translation of Gerard Manley Hopkins' Spring and Fall: To a Young Child into Quenya. Will geek out over the translation at the slightest provocation--it's obviously not word for word, and there were some interesting choices to make here.

Tuilë ar lasselanta: nessa hínan

Marilla, ma nyéral
Laurenor alautiën?
Lassi, ve i tanwi fírimaron, le
Cévi sanwelyainen méla, ma istal?
Ai! Írë i enda yeryuva
Yétuvalyet ringar lá
Irë lúmë auta, úvalyë fírë
Er malwë lassi atalantië caituvar;
Ananta nyénal ar méral ista manan.
I essë umë valdëa, hína:
Nyérëo ehteli nár imya.
Anto ar sáma umir quetë
Yan i enda hlarnë, i fairë intyanë.
Fírimar óner yarun sina,
Marillan nyéral.

Gah, this stuff is almost addictive! I could do it all day.

TYK for increasing my knowledge! (I hadn't made the connection to the meta aspect.)

Speaking of podfics, I have been podficced for the first time and I don't know how to link my fic, which is on AO3, with the podfic. Would you increase my knowledge on that, too?

Well, of course you can manually add a link to the podfic in the notes section of your fic. But as a podficcer, I usually link to the fic by means of the "inspired by" feature. There's no way to do that from the author's end, though, so you'd have to ask your podficcer to do it, if that's how you want it.
