J.R.R. Tolkien: Mythopoeia

To one [C.S. Lewis] who said that myths were lies and therefore worthless, even though 'breathed through silver'.
"Philomythus to Misomythus..."

the instrument of our song

The days we have lived, they're no longer ours. 
The days ahead belong to no one. 
Even today isn't ours... 
Today, is only the instrument on which the song of our lives may, or may not be, played.
