Fantastic Poetry and Tolkien’s Verse

Robert Flach

Why discuss fantasy at all? And what happens when the fantastic takes the form of verse?

Enter the study
The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can.
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.J. R. R. Tolkien
