J.R.R. Tolkien On Mythmaking
January 18, 2014 § Leave a comment
“Blessed are the legend-makers with their rhyme
of things not found within recorded time.
It is not they that have forgot the Night,
or bid us flee to organized delight,
in lotus-isles of economic bliss
forswearing souls to gain a Circe-kiss
(and counterfeit at that, machine-produced,
bogus seduction of the twice seduced).”
–J.R.R. Tolkien, Mythopoeia
