Part of a poem I wrote back in 2002 seems an apt answer:
my hope
that you see
the world in color
That, too, is metaphorical.
I would find such comments objectionable if they weren't so sad. I'm left wondering what someone, who has such little use for metaphor and depth of reality, finds so compelling in LotR that one would spend so much time on a site like this discussing it?
