It is the raw power
  of the nakedness of humanity-
the beauty of companionship
  and the willingness to face conflict and pain
with Blood and courage and toil

It is of heroes, and lovers, and warriors and the weak
  tender warriors who never stop
    and iron maidens who dream and fight

It is of ignorance and innocence and wisdom
   and weakness and strength

This tugs at the human heart
The heart that longs
  for a depth to life
The heart that longs
  for goodness
    and valor in this world
The heart that longs for man to be at peace
  And Wickedness to be stilled, thwarted, erased

So have you touched us Mr. Tolkien
So have you pulled at our innards
So have you caused us to dream
