Fascinating, thanks.

A letter from Tolkien about C.S. Lewis caught my eye. The Tolkien marriage was perpetually strained, in view of which Tolkien writes:

"Friendship with Lewis compensates for much, and besides giving constant pleasure and comfort has done me much good from the contact with a man at once honest, brave, intellectual—a scholar, a poet, and a philosopher—and a lover, at least after a long pilgrimage, of Our Lord."
