Where: Santiago de Compostela, Spain
When: 2011
Title: Ents
When I read Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, I imagined the Ents exactly as in the picture. Don't you?
"There are Ents and Ents, you know; or there are Ents and things that
look like Ents but ain't, as you might say. I'll call you Merry and
Pippin, if you please — nice names. For I am not going to tell you my
name, not yet at any rate.' A queer half-knowing, half-humorous look
came with a green flicker into his eyes. 'For one thing it would take a
long while:
my name is growing all the time, and I've lived a very long,
long time; so my name is like a story. Real names tell you the story of
the things they belong to in my language, in the Old Entish as you
might say. It is a lovely language, but it takes a very long time to say
anything in it because we do not say anything in it unless it is worth
taking a long time to say, and to listen to".
J.R.R. Tolkien, The Two Towers
