Hmmm. It seems I shared many of these opinions, despite never having considered them. The Eagles do seem somewhat of a cop-out escape each time, but I like the Manwe connotations and the idea that he was somehow involved.

The Frodo/Sam relationship was, to me, the obvious OTT. Considering the Prof's personal beliefs, I thought it was rather homoerotic! Then again, Catholics and small boys eh? [img]smilies/evil.gif[/img]
But seriously, I think it did somewhat cross the line from pure companionship at some point, although I doubt such things entered the mind of a religious man in the 1950s.

I will be shot for this but with the exception of a few which interested me only after I'd read the Sil, I hated (and always skipped) the poems and songs! BOR-ing. I should probably leave now.
