"Love flows out of a fullness of being; a human person is ontly to said be truly himself when he gives away himself in love". 27:48. "Human beings are meant to be the individuals they are by giving themselves away, not by insisting upon their individuality". 28:09

"This particular beauty of sanctity is not a project of self-making or self-expression, these saints become who they are not becaused they determined to be this way or that, but they allowed Christ to enter into them, and in so doing they entered into the greatest of the epic stories".13:12

Thank you so much Kevin. Whenever I want to explain fantasy and myth to someone, I always point them to your Tolkien monologue.

Not a very good impression on Tolkien. I can understand what he's saying too well.

Definitely judge this man by his actions not his words. His kids want nothing to do with him and his wife left a long time ago. It’s all a complete con game with him

What an amazing performance! I first heard of this essay through a KZbin ministry video. That’s how I found this. I wasn’t expecting this fabulous actor capturing my attention while delivering me the words God blesses Tolkien with. Thank you for sharing this gift.

At 22:45 he quotes satan as saying "I am my own, I am my own" I went to Canto 34 and could not find that quote. Where did satan say this, or was this a not a quote, but a general attitude of Satan?

He was paraphrasing from C.S. Lewis' "The Great Divorce." He said it as oppositional to the relationships of the Holy Trinity, where the Trinity is in relationship, Satan, as corrupter, teaches you can be happy being alone instead of loving others.

What a good point! Books that stir an inner desire such as a place unexplored or a task not yet completed, are so much more powerful than stories that tell mighty fantastic stories about something that our heart doesn't long for.

Excellent work. This is such a brilliant work by Tolkien, and O'Brien's dramatic recitation of it brings it to us with fresh vitality.
