Hmmm, sounds like a bad case of "Publish or Perish" to me.

No, Tolkien ain't Yeats. Neither was Kipling, T.H. White, A.A. Milne, Lewis Carroll...just what was his point?

"Come away, O human child!
To the waters and the wild
With a fairy, hand in hand,
For the world's more full of weeping
Than you can understand."

The Stolen Child
W.B. Yeats
