We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof. (…)

TolkienTrewsday:Oxford
Lowdham turned. The Camera looked vast and dark against the moonlit sky.Wisps of long white cloud were passing on an easterly breeze.For a moment one of them seemed to take the shape of a plume of smoke issuing from the lantern of the dome.

TolkienTrewsday: Leeds university according to Ohlmarks

Tolkien got hold of the forward and wrote letter 229 were he trashes the forward and Ohlmarks himself. We’re he noted a) that he did not feel banished
And b) fornost was a bad analogy as it would equate Leeds to Old Uppslala (and therefor my Viking pastiche of L University)
