April 14, 20251 yr DR. Malcom Guite (of Camridge) biography and analysis of Samual Taylor Coleridge and his The Rime of the Ancient Mariner is, I think, one of the great commentaries upon English LIterature. He is also a fan of Tolkien and his Lord of the Rings, and it is this on which he here holds forth. Coleridge was the first romantic poet. And his great poem ushered in the age of Keats, Shelley, and Byron. All of whom opened their residences to Coleridge and his sometimes wife from time to time, as Coleridge sank into drug addiction. From which, they would help him recover. What Guite is getting at here, discoursing on Tolkien's LOTR, is how the evil of Saruman is not so much the building of his collectivism society, but how is so building it, his rape of the environment and destruction of the countryside. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.
