My signature quote comes from Tolkien's comments on Smith of Wootton Major, included in the extended edition of the book, edited by Verlyn Flieger.

Tídwald to Torhthelm:
"You're witch-sighted to tell fiends from men in this foul darkness." (@Esty: I've seen that book in my English bookshop, but it seemed a bit expensive... But if you can tell me that it's worth it, I might buy it.)

Absolutely correct, as always, Guinevere! I don't know how you do it...
(Yes, the book is expensive because it's hardback; I have no idea if it will be released in paperback. It's worth the price to me because I find the additional material very interesting. Tolkien's essay, not published elsewhere as far as I know, is wonderful to read!)

"Let's start from the very beginning..." Somehow I'm in a "Sound of Music" mood! At any rate, let's try the first letter of the alphabet: A, please.

This wonderful compliment is what Niggle wished some indefinite friend and admirer of his painting would say. I love the continuation (which unfortunately no one says to me either ) :

Yes, well done, Esty! (You did use the continuation once as a "palantir" )
