Two versions of the letter are printed in <i>Sauron Defeated</i>.<br /><br />The proposed Epilogue was apparently much criticised and Tolkien decided not to include it in the published <i>Lord of the Rings</i>, but much of the material in it appeared in the appendices.Gareth Reeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15405124248006286547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913609798232369293.post-90759897270844994852009-11-28T03:33:07.308-08:002009-11-28T03:33:07.308-08:00Interesting.Interesting.Adam Roberts Projecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10001572970456425902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913609798232369293.post-9408284906666348912009-11-27T05:53:47.982-08:002009-11-27T05:53:47.982-08:00Looking at it from the Norse/Germanic perspective ...Looking at it from the Norse/Germanic perspective that Tolkien was toying with, Odin/Wotan, the discoverer of writing, was a notoriously treacherous war-god to his worshippers.<br /><br />And curious how writing had to be discovered, not invented … before the beginning was the word, eh?Mahendra Singhhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15308770582240496910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-913609798232369293.post-50991315589847917342009-11-27T04:55:53.415-08:002009-11-27T04:55:53.415-08:00Moria(h) is also where Abraham was asked to sacrif...Moria(h) is also where Abraham was asked to sacrifice Isaac in a fire until the later substitution of a lamb.M.H.
