Was Tolkien Depressed?

[Lush]

Lush, you clearly missed the dark and cynical subtext of "Beaver", especially in the later seasons after the Beav turned awkward.

Well, mine was a poor example, with a stereotypical take of the show. All I remember is the woman doing her vacuuming in her pearls. My point is (please bear with my bad metaphors), a great book is a lollipop with many coatings, some sugary, some sour. Ah, you can tell I've had too much to drink...
