Happy Birthday, Tolkien.


I wish life was not so short. Languages take such a time, and so do all the things one wants to know about.
- J.R.R. Tolkien

The road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
