Mythopoeia
(An excerpt from Tolkien's poem about the importance of myths.)Blessed are the legend-makers with their rhyme
of things not found within record time.
It is not they that have forgot the Night,
or bid us flee to organized delight,
in lotus-isles of economic bliss
forswearing souls to gain a Circe-kiss
(and counterfeit at that, machine-produced,
bogus seduction of the twice-seduced).
