Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain. ------ Comments: *''ei mi bilga le za'i na terpa'' **That seems to say that I should be obliged to not fear, that I feel an obligation to be obliged. I would either remove ''ei'' or remove ''bilga''. The double obligation is not wrong, but it doesn't quite fit the English. I find ''ei mi na terpa'' much more compelling. --((xorxes)) *''e'a mi ba curmi le nu ri mi pagre gi'e darkla'' **Same thing here. It seems to say that I allow myself that I will allow it to pass. Again, a plain ''e'a ri mi pagre gi'e darkla'' is more forceful. --((xorxes)) ***I changed the bilga one to use just the .ei. However on the curmi one it seems better to leave in the curmi so the ba can stay, and drop the e'a.--jrd *''po'o mi ba stali'' **It should be ''mi po'o'', otherwise ''po'o'' modifies the whole sentence and it says something like "the only thing that happens is that I will remain". --((xorxes))
