“Beauty, the world seemed to say. And as if to prove it (scientifically) wherever he looked at the houses, at the railings, at the antelopes stretching over the palings, beauty sprang instantly. To watch a leaf quivering in the rush of air was an exquisite joy.” - Virgina Woolf

There are 2 (two) types of Tolkien name.

1. See, Aragorn is one of the Dúnedain, plural of Dúnedan (because that is how plurals are constructed in Sindarin). It means West-Men. If you consult my pronunciation guide...

2. Ah yes, that's Mount Doom. It's a big scary mountain.

In preparing for this recording I stumbled across Morgan Freeman reciting a piece of the poem by heart. He jumbles a few of the words (https://t.co/sys8gInYx1), but the essence of the poem is there, permanently affixed in his memory.
