Oh how full of tempting possibilities that name suggests. It is, after all, Classical rather than Northern.

Blake's etching Laocoon contains the inscription 'Art is the Tree of Life'

Still, as the story of one who gave a warning that went unheeded, it is fascinating to give it to a tree in times of unheeded ecological warnings, eh? It would be intriguing to know what Tolkien knew/thought of Blake, another cosmologist who railed against the dark, satan mills. It would also be good to have a reference for that ascription. anyone know Carpenter well enough? Was the name included on the photo's inscription?
