As hobbits might put it, Professor Tolkien would have been eleventy-nine years old today.<\/p>\n

The world was young, the mountains green,
\nNo stain yet on the Moon was seen,
\nNo words were laid on stream or stone,
\nWhen Tolkien<\/b> woke and walked alone.
\nHe named the nameless hills and dells;
\nHe drank from yet untasted wells;
\nHe stooped and looked in Mirrormere,
