Hi Tim,

Tolkien needs no defense from me.

Yup, Goethe and Schiller, that eternal pair. Marlowe went to my school, actually, we have a Marlowe house there. He died young and violently, which Goethe obviously did not - if Goethe sold his soul, he struck a fairly hard bargain. But Goethe never wrote "Why this is Hell, nor am I out of it."

Cheers,
John
