"“the knees of Caradhras" and trees
[In reply to]

Yes, the stone of Middle Earth seems to be a bit like the trees of Fangorn or the Old Forest, or maybe a little like Norse Hill Giants.
“Not even on the knees of Caradhras will we wait for another night-fall! ”
“And indeed with that last stroke the malice of the mountain seemed to be expended, as if Caradhras was satisfied that the invaders had been beaten off and would not dare to return.”
The Fellowship of the Ring
There's the sense that domesticated places like Rivendell and the Shire are natural for men and then the wilds are slightly hostile, whether it is a forest, a cave that's too deep, or a mountain.

Yes, mountains have roots and trees have hearts.

Caradhras in particular seems sentient. And possibly Mount Doom.//
