[Wisdom of Wizardry]

I LOVE this line! I wasn't suggesting that JRRT would want to change it, not at all. And I agree that his highest priority, then and always, was to aid Frodo in his mission, at whatever cost.

I was just suggesting that his power exceeded those in the company by powers of ten; and that he knew they couldn't help him with the task at hand. He was not unaware of his own importance in the scheme of things, after all.
