Smith of Wootton Major in Middle Earth? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I don't remember Smith in great detail, but when reading it a bit less than a year ago I picked up a few whiffs of ME. But I recall thinking that, albeit the whiffs, Faerie is not a physical place, because out of all the Men only the "chosen ones" with the Star were allowed to find it / were able to find it. It reminded me more of some representation of... well, I didn't really figure out what exactly it was but something like, perhaps, utter good? Or a kind of mix between hope and imagination/? Or something inside us?

I'd like to comment on some other things that were said, but I have to read the whole thread for that. So... *starts reading*

Edit: I've read a bit, and I think Mark described it very accurately in one word: dreams.
