emailanimal Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Let's translate the poetry of Earth, from the lowest schoolyard rhymes to the finest Shakespearean verse into Vorin languages. Rules: An actual piece of poetry (or so called poetry) Translated as a ketek Earth-specific references replaced with Rosharian realities. Here is a start: Fire Illuminates the breeches of a liar whose breeches are lit of fire. This, of course, is the fifth tenet (or taunt) of Truthwatchers: Liar, liar, pants on fire.

Sunbird Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 This sounds fun. Let's give it a go...

emailanimal Posted December 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Errs one of two who name selves Talanel, as Talanel as a name of two is one error. Spoiler One of my favorite lines from early Mark Knopfler: "Two men say they are Jesus, one of them must be wrong" (Industrial Disease, from Lover over Gold) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sunbird Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 Heh. Let's try one from a Brandon quote. Ever confident, mostly the immature one, I am one with immaturity, the most confident ever. Original: Spoiler "I've always been very confident in my immaturity." - The Final Empire If anyone can come up with a better ketek of this quote, please share. I'm not very satisfied with mine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unodus Posted December 12, 2016 Report Share Posted December 12, 2016 (edited) Sooner the lonelier pack Axhound finds Rockbud, finds Axhound pack lonelier the sooner. [a play on "the early bird gets the worm". Although I guess it's closer to an allegory of "if you take all for yourself, you leave nothing for the others"- but that's only because I had to adapt it for ketek form x.x] <- does that count as "poetry"? "Am I not what I am?" [a very simple play on Iagos famous "I am not what I am" from Shakespeare's "Othello"] Edited December 12, 2016 by Unodus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, I was going to do this exact one with a songling and a cremling at some point. Beat me to it (-: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
