TCG Letter #1320

Writing to Tolkien at Brocton Camp, Christopher Wiseman defends an opinion he made on 'Kortirion among the Trees'. He says that Tolkien is interested in night and stars and "little, delicate, beautiful creations", but he is "more thrilled by enormous, slow-moving, omnipotent things" and scientific discoveries, "the wonderful secrets that man is continually digging out … of the great sun, the great stars, the amazing greatness of mountains".
