And watching it inspired some of my sketch work! Something I haven't done in a while and had a lot of fun with! I sketched a Hobbit and an Elf using an orange and blue gel pen (see below). Felt good. ^_^
2020 UPDATE: In these difficult days, I was again inspired and encouraged by LOTR in this video tribute (5min):
"I am a Christian," Tolkien wrote,
"and indeed a Roman Catholic, so that I do not expect 'history' to be
anything but a 'long defeat' - though it contains (and in a legend may
contain more clearly and movingly) some samples or glimpses of final
victory."
Above excerpt from
Abiding the Long Defeat with J.R.R. Tolkien: Faithfulness in a Disenchanted Time
UPDATE: Vocalist Sara Groves "The Long Defeat" song without LOTR video :
