"I am not one who was born in the custody of wisdom. I am one who is fond of olden times and intense in quest of the sacred knowing of the ancients." Gustave Courbet

Cure.


That house was, as Bilbo had long ago reported, "a perfect house, whether you like food or sleep, or story-telling or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all."  Merely to be there was a cure for weariness, fear and sadness.

J.R.R. Tolkien, from The Fellowship of the Ring
