Nah, 2 lines of the Ring poem as translated by him. I consider his translation of LotR to be his greatest masterpiece.
Shame on HC, can't display the ü-ish letter durr hurr

"One ring to rule them all, one ring merciless, one ring to lock you in the darkness, shackles alone."
More or less the direct translation.
Guessing it refers to this:
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them
