My Guinevere, that is a lovely story. I'm sad that the german versions lose something in the translation, but I can see it, I suppose. Words can be things of beauty. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] I must say it's the visual impressions the words stir in my mind, that drives my passion for Tolkien. Some love the plot(s), some the languages, I love the descriptions of natural things, and think in terms of art when reading. What a wonderful fiftieth birthday gift, the works of JRR Tolkien!
