A gentle reminder to look on the bright side. And take note of how dark it has become.

Cromwell's artistic debut in Spring 1649, by Robert Walker. Walker’s painting depicts the fifty-year-old general as a rugged man, holding a baton to symbolise martial authority. His hand rests on a sword as the Irish Sea lingers in the background. 1/

Over some months did Tolkien and Unwin consider the names of the three volumes and the six books (the latter not used until the Millennium edition).

Tolkien suggested both "The Return of the Shadow" and "The Shadow Grows" before "The Fellowship of the Ring" was chosen.

Happy International Cat Day! Tevildo was a servant of Melko in the early works of Tolkien. A precursor to Sauron, this perhaps explains this quote: "The Eye was rimmed with fire, but was itself glazed, yellow as a cat's, watchful and intent."

This is one of my favourite scenes in the entire trilogy. Forces of light defeating darkness.

Cromwell & music:

During the 1650s this organ (from Magdalen College; Oxford) was moved to Hampton Court at Cromwell's behest. John Milton supposedly played it for the Protector & Protectress, who both possessed a lifelong passion for music.
