Thumbs up

I marvel at Middle-Earth everytime i pick up one of the books in my hands. Tolkien was truly a master, a visionary, for as you said, he managed to capture so many different aspects and subtleties of our own history and mythology, and work them into such a splendid masterpiece, that we can all so easily relate to. It has roots in our own background, yet it's been modeled in such a way, that Middle-Earth has a feel of Eden. And maybe it makes us dream so vividly, and believe in it, because it wispers to us, what our own world could've, might've been. Middle-Earth feels so tangible at times, it is truly inspiring and moving.
