Nieninque “Snowdrop”

A beautiful poem from Tolkien's “A Secret Vice.”

About this phrase

In 1931, Tolkien held a conference about his creation of languages, claiming that his rather unusual hobby was a peculiar form of art. His talk was later published in the collection The Monsters and the Critics with the title “A Secret Vice.” Tolkien produced several poems as examples, and Nieninque “Snowdrop” is one of these poems.
