Sí Qente Feanor is a section of Parma Eldalamberon 15. This 13-line passage consists of two sentences uttered by the character Fëanor, in Qenya and a brief explanation of the circumstances.
'néri ur natsi nostalen máre ar váro naltur an ómi karmar
– ulqe núsimar' –
sí qente Feanor n·istaléra
varúse qentier nóvo san i
malto ísier i nosta – 'Qarda
qentien no máre nar i hondor
nérinwe ar ómu nalto úsiére
i limbelu tuktalla nai mára
nalto fustúme ma Melkon i
var limpilto var túkielto
– en i úmavaisor
listanelto in otso qarda.'
The translation given is as follows:
'men are not beings good by nature
but rather they are to all deeds
- evil inclined'
now said Feanor the wise
in other manner than was said before by those
from whom this birth was known - 'Less
than good, I said, are the hearts
of these men and although their having escaped
the long search may be good
they can be smelled out by Melko whom
they are bound to or have looked for
- there on the throne of hate
they blessed the great evil.'
