"And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "I desired dragons with a profound desire"

grammaboodawg Immortal Jan 3 2025, 11:51pm Views: 2707 Happy Birthday Dear Professor!   A toast to our Good Professor with deepest appreciation for giving us fantastic world to escape into! A Birthday Haiku I shared some years ago In Honour of J.R.R. Tolkien's Birthday Salutations, Sir; Professor, husband, father; He's inspired by life. Builds a world with words Visions filled his mind with Elves Men, Wizards and Dwarves But it's the smallest, Children of the kindly West, Hobbits rise from myth Shake the foundation Of powers long held by Kings, Queens and a Dark Lord. The meek inherits The Middle-earth War of Rings; Not knowing the way. Their Quest is for all. Kindreds bond in Fellowship; Meeting friends and foes. Fate on the knife's edge; Everything sad comes untrue? Endless Fellowship. We have been there and back again. TIME Google Calendar
