"Where is this from?" - Quote-search

[Inziladun]

In answer to your question, Legate, there's also this from Letters:

'Middle-earth', by the way, is not a name of a never-never land without relation to the world we live in....imaginatively this 'history' is supposed to take place in a period of the actual Old World of this planet.

Letter 165

And this:

The theatre of my tale is this earth, the one in which we now live, but the historical period is imaginary.

Letter 183
