Allegorical thinking in the sense that allegory serves to portray an already-known truth is dogmatic thinking. On the other hand, thinking directly by means of primary objects obtains its conclusions without reference to pre-established elements outside of the thinking framework.

The allegory part I agree with.

I see it as whenever someone asks an artist/creator if "their project is about this?" and the creator replies with, "It's open to interpretation."

I really wish I could have met Christopher or his father. All I managed was to visit his parents' grave in Oxford and thank them for the love JRRT showed to those of us fortunate enough to read his works.

He wrote it, because it was a hobby, it was something he did for entertainment in his free time after a long hard week of working at an intensive formal education building, marking papers.

So simply, Tolkien said that the world he created exists for itself and not to refer to any real-world events. Themes might be inspired from stuff from the real world but they are not for him to make judgements of events. Instead, his works is escapism and enjoyment of the consumer.

He borrowed so much from Richard Wagner, who puts a lot of deeper meanings into his work, that I am left wondering what the point of his books were? Aren't they just a lesser version of what he borrowed from then? I would love to be proven wrong.

Apparently Tolkien was also planning a massive overhaul of the story of the First Age. Perhaps he wanted to make it more 'on par' with the Second and Third Ages by expanding its length and scope. I'm fine with the fact that he never got the chance. The First Age is dramatic enough as it is, still very long - 500+ years, it's just we perceive this as 'short' by comparison to the 3,000+ years of the next two ages - and it is also short enough that you can kind of wrap your head around all its events, whereas the timespans and events of the following ages happen over SO long a period that it's hard to grasp everything that happens.

I remember reading this and thinking, "Well, I'll never read something this good again." I didn't mean that I would not read better books for a older age, or that LOTR was the best book ever written. I just meant that I would never again read something that had such a powerful impact, being only 12 years old when I read the books. IMO early adolescence is the best time to read LOTR, because its "ineffable sense of longing and loss" resonates deeply with people who are leaving childhood behind and entering the more grown-up world, where there is no room for such silly things as magic.

"Hannon le, Christopher Tolkien, for greatest adventures in Middle-Earth." This is what I want to tell him, if we ever met. The Silmarillion, History of Middle-Earth, Fall of Gondolin, Children of Húrin, Beren and Lúthien - these books were written by J.R.R. Tolkien and edited by Christopher Tolkien.

We can all agree that Tolkien's ending for his fantasy saga is much, much more wholesome than what C.S Lewis pulled with his Narnia Cycle. Its the difference between earning a peaceful ending by saving the material world and not just letting it burn cause 'Hey! We're getting awarded anyway!'

Something of a cruel irony, that a man who wrote so eloquently on the decaying nature of the world would be unable to finish his magnum opus on account of it.

I only now realised that he said "The Lords of the Ring" which strangely works too if you consider ring bearers to be it's "lords" and not give that title only to the one that can actually wield it.

What I took from this is that Tolkien more or less wrote his books simply to entertain people, and not to lecture to them about any moral or spiritual lesson. And that anyone who sifts through his work for such things may find something if they look hard enough, but they'd ultimately be wasting time and breath.

Nah. Ingrained ideas and a high estimate of their own conduct; A. leaving the world, and pursuing uncommon ways; talking loftily and in resentful disparagement of others;--all this is simply symptomatic of arrogance. This is what scholars who betake themselves to the hills and valleys, who are always blaming the world, and who stand aloof like withered trees, or throw themselves into deep pools 2, are fond of. *B. Discoursing of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty, and good faith; being humble and frugal, self-forgetful and courteous;--all this is simply symptomatic of (self-)cultivation. This is what scholars who wish to tranquillise the world, teachers and instructors, men who pursue their studies at home and abroad, are fond of.* C. Discoursing of their great merit and making a great name for themselves; insisting on the ceremonies between ruler and minister; and rectifying the relations between high and low;--all this shows their one object to be the promotion of government. This is what officers of the court, men who honour their lord and would strengthen the state and who would do their utmost to incorporate other states with their own, are fond of D. Resorting to marshes and lakes; dwelling in solitary places; occupying themselves with angling and living at ease;--all this shows their one object to be to do nothing. This is what gentlemen of the rivers and seas, men who avoid the society of the world and desire to live at leisure, are fond of. E. Blowing and breathing with open mouth; inhaling and exhaling the breath; expelling the old breath and taking in new; passing their time like the (dormant) bear 1, and stretching and twisting (the neck) like a bird 1;--all this simply shows the desire for longevity. This is what the scholars who manipulate their breath, and the men who nourish the body and wish to live as long as Päng Zû, are fond of.
