Title: Tokien: First-born among storytellers
Review: In the Silmarillion, Tolkien describes the creation of the world as an evolving chorus sung by the Angels. The Dark Lord rebels in braying discord, but the clear melody of the One God ultimately triumphs. Tolkien's passage describing the Song of the One is perhaps the truest review of the Silmarillion itself: the faintest whisper at first, becoming slow, deep, and wide, possessed of an almost unbearable sorrow from which chiefly arises its beauty. Tolkien's elegantly crafted prose creates a web of many hundreds of hauntingly realistic lives that captures, then pierces your heart with the overwhelming tragedy and nobility of the human condition. A must read for serious students of the soul.
