haltred has just left Hobbiton.
White Tree

I think that the "Undying lands " has paralells in greek mythology -Atlantis
in celtic mytholgy the many coloured land
and yes in Pardise as in Christian Muslim and Jewish beliefs.
Now was this intention on Tolkiens part ? One wonders and I am unsure we will ever know . But it does make for interesting speculation.
