Ocean continents



Apparently, I missed some mails regarding my Lojban composition, "lo
tumla ne'i lo xamsi". (Or weren't they intended for the list?)

Is it GMail's fault? GMail seems to set(force) Reply-To to the author,
not to the list -- it seems John replied to Jorge only, thinking he
was replying to the list. Is this the case?

Anyway, here's the original from which I translated:

"Ocean continents

That far country is lost in time, its streets paved with gold, its
palaces roofed with gold. You could conquer it in a month, and rule
over all its immensity, and bring back all the treasure that it has,
endless forest and furs, turquoise and gold, more gold than there is
yet now in the world; and yet still the greatest treasure in that land
is already lost."

Still, the context of the last sentence isn't clear, I fear. It is
referring to the story element previously presented, not translated
here.
