Ever since the publishing of his renowned trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" in 1954, J.R.R. Tolkien has remained a fixture of enduring, and undying reverence across multiple cannons of English Literature. Spending long days that proved to be countless as they were tireless, to conceive and realize the universe known as Middle Earth, Tolkien spent much of these hours that spanned into the early skirts of dawn in the study. Looking long into linguistics, history, and anthropology to create not only the species of hobbits, wizards, dwarves, and elves, but to invent that of a culture, and a language to go along into the livelihoods, and the lives he gave life to. Inventing three languages to compliment an entire canon of storytelling that remains distinctly his own, J.R.R. Tolkien is not only crediting for reviving the popularity of the fantasy genre, but for serving as an example, and inspiration for many of some of the greatest writers in the modern era. With authors such as George R.R. Martin, the auteur behind "Game of Thrones", frequently citing Tolkien as one of his greatest role models in a matter of style, and deliverance of literary gravitas.

A man of recalcitrant hope, courage, and indomitable compassion enhanced by an introspective melancholy fostered by having lost every single one of his closest friends save but one during the Great War the shook the world as much as the people living in it, Tolkien, through his stories, sought always, to encourage his readers to persevere. To endure. Against all odds. Against the destruction and loss of things, they held most dear. And through it, strive for the belief that a very bright tomorrow full of music, and of laughter lingered still at the end of the dark tunnel that at times, could be far from ideal present.
