"We'll need a good committee of 17th c. English scholars to make sure that there's a seamless join between the ancient and modern (that's the big problem with the Anglican Use Rite as currently constituted -- the patches show.)"

Too bad Tolkein is no longer with us. He would have been perfect for the task, both from the standpoint of linguistics and devout Catholicism.

Too bad Tolkein is no longer with us.

True -- if they had just consulted him to begin with about an English translation, there would have been time, but it was the 60s, after all . . . opportunities lost!

My best friend wrote a letter to C.S. Lewis back in the early 60s. I was going to, but never got around to it. He actually answered her with a very kind little note. Another opportunity lost!
