Another Idea about the relative terms: Heaven, Middle-Earth, and Earth. Each place seems gradually less seclusive. Heaven, the highest, the living cannot reach it. Middle-Earth, the nurterer of all mankind, the land above the ocean and below the sky, and finally, the Earth, the whole sphere of known existence, encompassing sea, land and sky.

Now what would this say about Tolkien's Middle Earth?
