He talked about such things in great detail. Tolkien did have a great love of nature. Shippey referred to him a lot as a "tree hugger". So, yes, I think it does relate. __________________ ~ ExerciseJunky.com (Hobbits fitness of choice!)~ ~Lady of Rohan: An Eowyn Fansite ~ ~The NEW/OLD Barrow Downs Photo Page~
