Tolkien was my shipmate through many a long submarine voyage into the deep places of the world. To crawl into my rack in what is essentially a submerged prison and enter Middle Earth to bivouac under the stars of Lothlorien was a true spiritual salve.
That's a beautiful thought, sir. Middle-earth served a similar function for Tolkien himself, who first began working on its stories while in the trenches of WWI. It has given me a similar "escape" into a better, clearer world in my own life and I'm sure it has for many others, too. I'm proud to include your post!
Thanks for including my essay good sir, much appreciated. Hopefully I'll have an actual Tolkien essay out for next week, as I'm wanting to conclude my study of his Faerie Stories essay.
Thanks for the mention!
