My initial response was directed to the very interesting idea in Tolkien's Letter# 131 about the intrusions of the Children of God into the Drama, and secret life in creation. That latter is particularly intriguing, I find and is what I was primarily commenting upon. Secret is such an fascinating quality.
So, really, I was more interested in taking the Letter in a direction different from that you are pursuing. We shall just have to go our separate ways.
