Almost 2,400 words to argue yet again that Tolkien has no flaws.

I am obviously ashamed that I had the temerity to find flaws in a work so immaculate.

But tell me, exactly what effect was Tolkien looking for when he translated the words of Frodo who was himself translating the thoughts of a Fox?

Because the effect on me was a bit "Wind in the Willows".
