Message: |
what is the Indo-European root of "pillow"? All its derivations?
Its relationship to the history of the word "dream"? What subtle
philological point was Tolkien making with all of his pillow imagery?

“I dislike Allegory - the conscious and intentional allegory - yet any attempt to explain the purport of myth or fairytale must use allegorical language. (And, of course, the more 'life' a story has the more readily will it be susceptible of allegorical interpretations: while the better a deliberate allegory is made the more nearly will it be acceptable just as a story.)” (From Tolkien Letter # 131.) Tips for posting in the Reading Room.
