The Power of Beauty

The Lord of the Rings as a piece of the overall legend truly is this heartbreakingly beautiful work. It has an ability to cut through the spiritual stupor and sneak past those watchful dragons in a way that a lot of stuff really doesn't. This is near the heart, the beating heart of Tolkien's whole project. And when you see the effect that it has on people, that's where you begin to realize something more is going on here.
