Calico JesseLet us tell quiet stories of kind eyes And placid brows where peace and learning sate: Of misty gardens under evening skies Where four would walk of old, with steps sedate.Let's have no word of all the sweat and blood, Of all the noise and strife and dust and smoke (We who have seen Death surging like a flood, Wave upon wave, that leaped and raced and broke).1/3<a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Poetry</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GeoffreyBacheSmith" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GeoffreyBacheSmith</a>

Sylkykat (she/her) 📚🖖🦉🐱☕️🇺🇦Hubs (<a href="https://mstdn.social/@GrumpyOldBear" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@GrumpyOldBear</a>) and I watched <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/WarOfTheRohirrim" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#WarOfTheRohirrim</a> today for the first time. Enjoyed it very much! Beautifully animated. The story grabbed you and held on. The characters were well-rounded and fit well in <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a>'s world. Will be watching it regularly, as we do the <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/LOTR" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LOTR</a> movies. <a href="https://images.app.goo.gl/ST3fdQe7fbUrrbqa6" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://images.app.goo.gl/ST3fdQe7fbUrrbqa6</a>

Matthias Rex🐯So far, I'm liking "The Children of Hurin" better than some parts of "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings." Maybe Amazon would have been better off developing this story as a movie or short series, rather than their souless dry-humping of "The Silmarillion." <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a>

Matthias Rex🐯I have finished Chrétien De Troyes' "Arthurian Romances" and will be moving on to Tolkein's "The Children of Hurin." I was right about Lancelot being my favorite tale, and wish Perceival was a finished story. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Chr%C3%A9tienDeTroyes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ChrétienDeTroyes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bookstodon</a>

MelancholicBear"Some people believe it is only great power that can hold evil in check, but that is not what I have found.

Matthias Rex🐯I woke up about 15% sicker than yesterday. I'm trying to battle this thing with phenylephedrine, guaifenesin, and my usual black tea with honey and lemon. I'm continuing my reread of "The Two Towers" and might be done tonight. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Covid</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SickDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SickDay</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a>

Matthias Rex🐯My covid infection has progressed to the intensity of a mild cold or flu. I have muscle aches, and my sinuses are now involved. Housemates have managed to get paxlovid for themselves through their insurance, but it might be more difficult for me to procure some. My plan for today is to drink black tea with honey and lemon and continue to read The Two Towers. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#covid</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tolkein</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/booksandtea" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#booksandtea</a>

🎓 Doc Freemo :jpf: 🇳🇱“I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?”-- JRR Tolkein<a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quote</a> <a href="https://qoto.org/tags/Quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Quotes</a>

Matthias Rex🐯After finishing the Silmarillion today, I will be moving on to a reread of the Poetic Edda. My take on the Silmarillion is that is equal parts brilliant and frustrating, but my understanding of LOTR has been substantially deepened. As for the Poetic Edda, I haven't been through it since 2012. <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Silmarillion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Silmarillion</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/NorseMythology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NorseMythology</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bookstodon</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/SummerReadingList" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SummerReadingList</a>

RanaldCloustonJust finished reading the Fellowship of the Ring out loud to my 11yo. The book has its flaws but boy is that last chapter good. For all that <a href="https://fediscience.org/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a> is sometimes regarded as a stuffy conservative, Frodo viewing the world from the top of Amon Hen is as fine a piece of mystical writing as you'll find. <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstodon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstodon</a>

PixelJonesWhy Tolkien hated DisneyI can't help but agree w/ his strongly held belief if you smooth over all rough edges of "fairy stories", cut them off from their mythical roots, and hide their adult truths, you're ultimately not respecting children while draining their stories of real power.<a href="https://youtu.be/RwxHMWZBMSI?si=jpl5ms2VhBLmyVq3" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/RwxHMWZBMSI?si=jpl5ms2VhBLmyVq3</a><a href="https://mindly.social/tags/tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#tolkein</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/disney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disney</a> <a href="https://mindly.social/tags/movies" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#movies</a>

Jaelyn 🏳️‍🌈Tolking is like talking, but it's when you monologue the background to the story you're about to tell for so long and in such detail everyone's attention has wandered to elsewhere in the party before you even get to the story itself.<a href="https://lgbtqia.space/tags/Tolkein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Tolkein</a>
