In honor of the great man, I repeat some lines from the tail end of his great story:
The Road goes ever on and on Out from the door where it began. Now far ahead the Road has gone, Let others follow it who can! Let them a journey new begin, But I at last with weary feet Will turn towards the lighted inn, My evening-rest and sleep to meet.
Professor Tolkien has long since ended his journey on the The Road, but we still remember him fondly.
"Tolkien's Webley .455 service revolver was put on display in 2006 as part of a Battle of the Somme exhibition in the Imperial War Museum..." (From the Wikipedia article)
Man, tell me that wouldn't be a revolver to have in your collection...
And I thought I was the only one celebrating.
ReplyDeleteI expect I'll turn one over later this evening.

So, 5 years from now do we get to celebrate his Eleventy First birthday?
