a STORM to match her RAGE.

This was painted by Tolkien

So:

✔ Tolkien created a world that becomes a part of our recent history and left a legacy that will surely endure till the end of time

✔ He spoke more than 10 languages

✔ He was a good matematician, too, because he created the Valian Years and the Years of the Trees, basing himself on very logical algorithms

✔ He was an accomplished Historian

✔ He was a Professor at Oxford

✔ He fought in WW1

✔ He was an accomplished artist

✔ He wrote poems and songs that make you sob

✔ He was a good singer (I listened to his interpretation of Namárië , so believe me)

✔ He was married to the love of his life and he died at the age of 82 just because he lost his wife

✔ He had four children who later worked to make sure that their father’s legacy would endure

✔ He denied that immortality was a blessing, but rather a burden and blessed the simple nature of humans, and claimed that death is not a Doom to humanity, but rather a path leading us to somewhere else.

✔ Though he wrote Elves, never did he imply that the immortal, beautiful Elves are better than humans. Because we, humans, are good just the way we are

Why on earth would you ever be frightened of me?

I used to want to save the world. This beautiful place. But I knew so little then. It is a land of beauty and wonder, worth cherishing in every way. But the closer you get, the more you see the great darkness simmering within. And mankind? Mankind is another story altogether.
