Cuadra por cuadra... tardará un poco, pero quedará hermoso.







The problems with this attack on Tolkien are numerous. But one thing that is critical is that it is perhaps one of the two or three most important books defining Western civilization in the last two centuries or more. Maybe the most. At a time when we are in an all-hands-on-deck struggle to salvage, shore up, and rehabilitate European civilization, and defend it from rapidly looming collapse, it is sheer idiocy to attack one of the most important literary pillars defining it. Moreover, it not only helps shore up European civilization, but projects it at its best. As distant as one may ever get from Oxford, those that had read it saw in it a civilizational force that helped them understand the great struggle they faced too against the evils they stand down, from Iran to Mt. Lebanon and Bashan. The West was what it always should be: an inspiration to stand and fight for morality and home. I can’t comment on its Christian nature, but it is a foundation in my view of European civilization and literary survival. For the woke Reich to attack it is numbskulled but unfortunately increasingly expected.
