Description

'...Still, I wonder if we shall ever be put into songs or tales. We're in one, of course; but I mean: put into words, you know, told by the fireside, or read out of a great big book with red and black letters, years and years afterwards.'




I had a mind to make a body of more or less connected legend, ranging from the large and cosmogonic, to the level of romantic fairy-story—the larger founded on the lesser in contact with the earth, the lesser drawing splendour from the vast backcloths—which I could dedicate simply to: to England; to my country.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, to his editor, Milton Waldman.


Here are beauties that pierce like swords or burn like cold iron; here is a book that will break your heart. - C. S. Lewis

Aragorn gave me so much grief, it's not even funny. And he still doesn't look right. Gimli looks like he stole Éomer's face. Pippin looks possessed. I should've put in Tom Bombadil! Hey dol, derry dol & all that jazz. What d'you mean, my geek is showing? (hides "England" written in Tengwar)
