I'd like to thank Noggie for realising what my point was, that in common usage "tragic" is not limited to just the formal, classical meaning, so it isn't a question of "mixing it up" but of clarifying how we use the word. After all, I myself was making an offhand nod to a particular meaning .... And anyways, why can't we discuss Wittgenstein? LMP talks about Barfield. Or are we only supposed to talk about writers who agree with Tolkien or who Tolkien agreed with? Maybe his ideas about language aren't the only ones out there. Quote:
