if you’re american and coming to australia, I’m gonna go ahead and say that you should be 100 percent way more worried about being king hit by a dude named “dane” in a bintang singlet than any fucking spiders that exist here
what does this say in english
“Good sir, if you are a resident of the United States of America and coming to visit the sunny land of Australia, allow me to inform you that you should be rather more concerned about being sucker punched by a gentleman named ‘Dane’ who is likely to be seen wearing a wifebeater with a beer company logo on it than by any of the dangerous spiders that exist on this lovely continent”.
ok so what does it say in american
“You’re more likely to get sucker punched/cold-cocked by an asshole than you are to be bitten by a spider”.
thank you

a reason why tolkien is honestly in a league of his own in fantasy is because he does worldbuilding through poems… he doesn’t NEED to write a thousand stories about dwarves because the song of durin says it all. he doesn’t need to expand tediously on elves and melancholy because the song of the sea is right there!! it’s so beautiful
the sheer grief and hope this carries… it’s all there! the complex and contradictory place the dwarves occupy in the world of middle earth, enacting as pariahs and as witnesses. the long exile, the humiliation and toil! and through it all, the profound belief that all of it is cyclical and that the founder of dwarf culture will walk again, a new golden age awaiting his arrival to unfold for all dwarves… in two columns of text
