Ted Hughes as Sauron?

I wonder if we could populate Middle-Earth with poets....e.e. cummings is a shoo-in for Tom-Bom, jolly Tom!

Oh but I love e.e.'s poetry and loath TB's..... Tom and Viv would be interesting casting ... I say Sam is Pam Ayres.

Not fair! not fair! Ted Hughes is Faramir.

Ezra Pound for Sauron.

Margaret Atwood for Eowyn. (Wait, that isn't fair to Hughes either.)

Ted Hughes? Hmm, a little bit Byronic, slightly threatening, and very masculine...how about Boromir?

I see Faramir more as a Seamus Heaney.

Who could Wiiliam Blake be cast as?

William Blake = Bilbo, visionary and scamp, writing verse of a mythology unheard in his Shire

Mithalwen · 09-16-2004, 11:03 AM

Would I be pushing it to say Ted Hughes for Turin?
Frodo - hmm Wilfrid Owen ?
Aragorn mmm Maybe TS Eliot
If it weren't for his cruder side I would want e.e.cummings for Elrond
Margaret Attwood I have only read as a novelist (just started Oryx and Crake last night) ......

I'd like to suggest: Yeats=Aragorn

Though this suggestion may well be colored by my extreme fondness for both Yeats and Aragorn...

Wallace Stevens is definitely Saruman.
