Although I have little to say on this, not having read the passage in question, I do find it very interesting. I hope that Voronwë might consider giving us a guided tour of some of the more interesting sections of the History of Middle Earth. The 10 volumes that I own have hardly been opened, but wh...

Voronwë, this is a fascinating post. I have something to say, though I am afraid it is not as responsive as your post deserves ... but this is where my thoughts take me at the moment. The Shibboleth is a symbol of language as a divider. But language is how we communicate with each other, one way we...
