I did like Tolkien's The Lay of Leithian, but most of his poetry is bad and this is just painful to look at. If it weren't for the source, it wouldn't even have been published.
Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.
ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius
Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

It is, with very few drops in line quality. It might be one of my 2-3 favorite things by Tolkien. *NM*

I have to say, in this case it sounds like a pile of shit. It's awful.

I can't say I'm all that impressed based on the quoted passages, either...

I probably should have quoted from the more memorable passages instead of the scene-setting ones
