This site is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Alan William Smolowe who gave birth to the creation of this database.
"He did not go much further, but sat down on the cold floor and gave himself up to complete miserableness, for a long while. He thought of himself frying bacon and eggs in his own kitchen at home - for he could feel inside that it was high time for some meal or other; but that only made him miserabler." - J. R. R. Tolkien, fully John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
"I am dreading the publication, for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." - J. R. R. Tolkien, fully John Ronald Reuel Tolkien
