to Nuredhelion, CryingGlitter and whomever else it may concern,
That passage is hardly evidence for literal "wings" and in fact lends to quite the contrary given Tolkien's figurative manner when using the specific literary structure found inthe passages in question in "The Bridge of Kazaddum."
I have done extensive research on the topic and have posted my finding and I will post a ink to them on this board shortly for you to look over if you so wish.
