Tolkien Day!

"I would draw some of the great tales in fullness and leave many only placed in the scheme and sketched. The cycles should be linked to a majestic whole, and yet leave some scope for other minds and hands wielding paint and music and drama." ~ Letters of JRR Tolkien Basis fro fanfiction, eh

This tale does not deal with a period of 'Courtly Love' and its pretences; but witha culture more primitive (sc. less corrupt) and nobler.

That's wonderful. It's constantly amazing how much thought and detail he put into this Tale, and its themes, characters, and history.

I very much agree~ and i'm glad for that paragraph for it really tells you also how Tolkien thinks about relationships in a way as well. :)
