Tolkien quote of the day:

I think the simple 'rustic' love of Sam and his Rosie (nowhere elaborated) is absolutely essential to the study of his (the chief hero's) character, and to the theme of the relation of ordinary life (breathing, eating, working, begetting) and quests, sacrifice, causes and the 'longing for elves', and sheer beauty.

Letter 131, The Letters of JRR Tolkien
