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

‘Where am I, and what is the time?’ he said aloud to the ceiling.
‘In the house of Elrond, and it is ten o’clock in the morning,’ said a voice. ‘It is the morning of October the twenty-fourth, if you want to know.’
‘Gandalf !’ cried Frodo, sitting up. There was the old wizard, sitting in a chair by the open window.
‘Yes,’ he said, ‘I am here. And you are lucky to be here, too, after all the absurd things you have done since you left home.’
