Now, whereas the 2019 feature film Tolkien is a pretty good movie but not-great depiction of the actual Tolkien's actual life or works, what I'm posting about today is a very good insight into the actual Tolkien's actual worldview and how the worldview of his works reflects it.
Just the one Tlantis, though.
"I have so heard it said: That once came together in single combat Hildebrand and Hadubrand between two hosts"
"For the grace, for the might of our Lord In the name of His glory For the faith, for the way of the sword Come and tell their story again."
"Gráinne O'Malley is coming over the sea, Armed warriors along with her as her guard"
"Now in this island of Atlantis there existed a confederation of kings, of great and marvelous power."
And, of course, because the most common lyrics are "Oh" and "Amadeus", it's really easy to sing along with, even if you don't speak German…
"For the grace, for the might of our Lord In the name of His glory For the faith, for the way of the sword Come and tell their story again."
"I have so heard it said: That once came together in single combat Hildebrand and Hadubrand between two hosts"
"Where now the horse and the rider? Where is the horn that was blowing? Where is the helm and the hauberk, and the bright hair flowing?"
