Btw, I'm not to prove anything here, just trying to see some answers.
They are not the only ones who have such an effect on me, I think it is general in the literature. It also depends, however, on your own dispositions to be influenced so. But, necessary to say, I think that Tolkien produces this effect in a larger scale than an average writer. This, of course, is also subjective.
