" So begins one of the most beloved and delightful tales in the English language Tolkien's prelude to The Lord of the Rings

bearded sea captain Brendan

the hoofbeats and bellows echoing from the Labyrinth below

and their own jobs secure

the life she wants and the truths that need to be heard

While they may be pretending not to know each other
