[Pryde Foltz]

Alas … despite what my last name would suggest … sweet nothings murmured in German are lost on me. Something to do with Russia, I think, and then there are author notes speaking of a tree lost to the sea, but that is all I got. I would have to echo Jacob's sentiment that a translation would be wonderful. I suppose like the eternal it is to be felt not understood:)

[Tam Warink]

I think it is an ancient dialect or possibly a mixture of several. I don't know anything about it. I was awakened in the middle of the night by a voice in my head, speaking it. I grabbed my pen and notebook and wrote what came to me. You're the first to actually try to translate it. If you keep at it perhaps you can tell me what it says.

[Tam Warink]

...or possibly a "future" dialect?

[Pryde Foltz]

Wow … that is one mystifying muse you got there:) I suppose the author's note would suggest that even the most deeply rooted tree will succumb to the tide with time … so weep not over change.

[Tam Warink]

Well, let me "wow" right back at you. That's a right fair interpretation of the author's notes. It "feels" good. I can't tell you if it's correct or not but it does feel good. What's your take on the rest of it? Any thoughts?

[Pryde Foltz]

What I see is several languages combined … german, some french, and maybe Latin? I would say there is talk of space or at least a vastness … but alas that is all I have.

[Pryde Foltz]

Oh and some English too:)

[Tam Warink]

Yes, I think you're correct. It does seem to be a mix of euro-speak or something like it. I thank you for making an attempt, Pryde. It is more than I could have hoped for. Perhaps some others will give it a go.

[Pryde Foltz]

There does seem an odd beauty to it, for sure.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

would love to see this translated...

[Tam Warink]

Thank you for reading, Jacob. Alas, I fear it would lose everything in translation and so I must, respectfully, decline.

[jacob erin-cilberto]

i understand, sir.
