The Undefinable Shadowland
A Study of the Complex Question of Dualism
in J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings
Leif Jacobsen


In memory of John Ronald Reuel Tolkien,
to whom I owe so much

The Road ever goes on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow if I can

Pursuing it with weary feet,
Until it joins some larger way,
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.
