Now that you bring it up...

Don't Faramir's words remind you in some ways of a sermon? I can't help thinking that Tolkien believed that "real sermons required some special grace which does not transcend art but arrives at it by instinct or 'inspiration'" (letter 63)-- Faramir does have that grace. Words do elegantly flow from him in spiritual way. Interesting that this letter was written about the same time that Faramir came to Tolkien.

Hither are you gone from me
To this longing-- to this strain.
Neither are we far from free
From this aching-- from this pain.

Burden lost or lest sustain
All our misery--delay.
Drink in deeply to detain
What we can not quench today.
            --C.A. Jolin
