I heard that poem recited in a movie just a few days ago, but they did not attribute it to Yeats, the devils.
Memphis Belle, by any chance? Now that is a good film, although I hear that in its original form it was to have been a re-telling of a true story about an RAF Lancaster crew. Apparently the Royal Air Force doesn't sell to American audiences. [img]smilies/mad.gif[/img]

Welcome to the Downs, Purple Monkey. As you can tell by my posts above, I have little time for the author of this cheap dig at Tolkien. His inclusion of these two great literary figures with his own insubstantial rubbish drags them both in the mire of his incompetence; but that beautiful quotation is going to make it well worth keeping this thread going. Thanks.
