“The heart of man is not compound of lies,
but draws some wisdom from the only Wise,
and still recalls Him. Though now long estranged,
Man is not wholly lost nor wholly changed.
Dis-graced he may be, yet is not de-throned,
and keeps the rags of lordship once he owned:
Man, Sub-creator, the refracted light
through whom is splintered from a single White
to many hues, and endlessly combined
in living shapes that move from mind to mind.
Though all the crannies of the world we filled
with Elves and Goblins, though we dared to build
Gods and their houses out of dark and light,
and sowed the seed of dragons � 'twas our right
(used or misused). That right has not decayed:
we make still by the law in which we're made.”
― Tree and Leaf: Includes Mythopoeia and The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth

“I have been hardly more than a wandering explorer (or trespasser) in the land, full of wonder but not of information.”
