A prominent Tolkien expert wrote to me last night and expressed an interest in the first two parts of my Tolkien essay but said he didn't quite know where I was going with them. In all honesty, I don't know myself. I think I've said enough about The Music of the Ainur; we've covered moral contingency and the many liturgical aspects of it; would any of my faithful readers care to make any suggestions?
