J R R Tolkien

"How years ago in days of old
When magic filled the air,
T'was in the darkest depths of Mordor
I met a girl so fair,
But Gollum, and the evil one crept up
And slipped away with her."

I always thought Lord of the Rings was more about WWI and WWII

some Tolkein scholars beleive trilogy was based on atrocities he saw in World War I at the Battle of the Somme...It is beleived that Sauron character was based on Adolph Hilter,Orcs were his Nazi troops and the ones chasing the ring were the Allied forces...
