"So the question of whether a word or grammatical construct is 'proper Quenya' turns out to become, paradoxically, more uncertain the more we learn about how Tolkien worked."
Bill Welden (VT42:34)
"Linguists are often unstable."

On Fantasy literature:

― Lucius Shepard, "Sylgarmo's Proclamation"
"There never was a merry world since the fairies left dancing, and the priest conjuring."
― John Selden Table Talk (1689)

Mike Foster lyrics-Bob Dylan melody

How many roads must a Ranger walk down before you can call him a King?
How many roads must Bilbo walk down before he can hang up his Sting?
How many roads must Frodo walk down before he can give up the Ring?
The answer, my friends, is written in the Ring/ The answer is written in the Ring.

How many towns must Smaug burn down to fill up his treasure chest?
How many trials must the Dwarves all endure before they fulfill their quest?
How many roads must the Elves walk down before they can leave for the West?

How many films must New Line release before they will give up the ghost?
How many films will Peter Jackson make before the Legendarium is toast?
How many films must David Bratman see to decide which is the one he hates the most?
