"Very little about trees as trees can be got into a play."
Now I really wonder what Tolkien would have thought of the movies made out of his books!
A lovely, lovely essay about truth and fairy tales and creation and...oh, everything worth thinking about. I want to memorize every word. Admittedly, this is a topic I find utterly fascinating and care deeply about. I do not expect others to find as much enjoyment as I did.
An excellent read following Letters to a Diminished Church: Passionate Arguments for the Relevance of Christian Doctrine. The two works touch on the Christian's role as creator, but in very different ways.
