J.R.R. Tolkien
The Oxford Don Who Invented Elvish and Middle-earth to Heal a Broken World
Language is the soul of a world reborn.
From the green hills of England to the bloodied trenches of the Somme, I have seen both the ruin and resilience of the world. I have laboured over ancient tongues until my ink ran dry, and in their cadence, I found Middle-earth — a land not born of escape, but of hope. My faith, my love of trees, and the memory of fallen friends walk with me still.
What I'm Into: Quenya poetry, the quiet of morning walks, ink-stained manuscripts, pipe-weed and firelight, stories that outlast the dark
