Friends, let us raise our glasses to the man who gave us the stars of Eärendil and the green hills of the Shire.
To the sub-creator of worlds, the master of languages, and the weaver of the greatest epic of our time. He taught us that even the smallest person can change the course of the future, and that while not all those who wander are lost, there is no journey quite like the one that leads us back home.
The toast is: ‘The Professor!”
