As a traditional Catholic myself, I was fully ignorant of this beautiful piece of literature. Your description is stunning and so are you choices for pictures. Thank you so much for lifting my heart today!
This channel is a pearl. Very elegant and bright bringing truth to light! One can be gifted with great intelligence but, imo, can't be smart without a loving heart, and I think both you and J.R.R. Tolkien are smart. Thank you for your insight!
What a gem of a story - never heard of it before. I can well see, how this would have inspired Tolkien.
A fascinating piece of history, thanks!
This was EXCELLENT. I had never heard of this poem before, or Tolkien's work to translate it. But the spiritual themes as you described it resonate deeply with me. Thanks again for your deep thought and thorough investigation into all things Tolkien!
Thanks, great video, informative, well done
Very deep, I almost cried
Will have to get a copy!!!
Cheers from Chile 🇨🇱🇬🇧
Thanks for another enjoyable and thought-provoking video. This and other Tolkien-themed videos recently made me wonder, “What draws readers to Tolkien’s books, even if the reader’s religion (or absence of religion) conflicts with the author’s?” There are undoubtedly many personal reasons behind this on the surface, but I think it’s ultimately because of the classical Western philosophy that is so entwined with both Tolkien’s writings and our Christian/Catholic faith. The belief that Good is objective like math and astronomy, and that Good is to be observed rather than defined, goes as far back as Socrates. These teachings carried on to other critical figures in the church, like Augustine and Aquinas, for centuries after. However, there was a philosophical shift that began in the 1600’s with Descartes that resulted in “good” being a subjective term, something that was a mere agreement within a culture, group, or individual. That mindset seems to naturally cause inevitably and unsolvable arguments about what is “good” since it doesn’t allow us an actual Good as a common reference point. I theorize that LotR is beloved by and attractive to so many of us because it reminds us (even those of us with no belief in God) of our natural sense that there are objective things like good and bad, virtue and vice, right and wrong, moral and immoral.
Tolkien was a temple himself enlightment the pathway to many other amidst dark times of culture!
As a Southern Baptist-- very nice. Thanks for presenting this.
Thank you for this beautiful and interesting video. It shows us one more clue to "The writing of The Lord of the Rings".
Beautiful video. Thank you
This is a God Given thanks
5:15 On the contrary, it is only at this point that what you say becomes folly.
What does R R Martin think of Tolkien?
