I agree with this:
Quote:
Ho! Ho! Ho! To the bottle I go To heal my heart and drown my woe. Rain may fall and wind may blow, And many miles be still to go But under a tall tree I will lie, And let the clouds go sailing by. Even when reading this as a young teenager in the early 1980s I thought this praise of alcohol somewhat excessive! ![]() I think the main criticism that could be leveled against Tolkien today would be toleration, indeed encouragement, of obesity! ![]() Now Perry-the-Winkle grew so fat through eating of cramsome bread, his weskit bust, and never a hat would sit upon his head; for Every Thursday he went to tea, and sat on the kitchen floor, and smaller the old Troll seemed to be, as he grew more and more. What do people think? |
