Talk about divinely inspired . . . between them God allowed Chaucer, Tolkien, Dylan, Dickinson, and Shakespeare to remake His world. And if you talk about my personal inspiration, it has been, is, and will always be Donna, who remakes my world always for the better every day—this book is dedicated to her. [The Ents’] part “in in the story is due, I think, to my bitter disappointment and disgust from schooldays with the shabby use made in Shakespeare of the coming of ‘Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill’: I longed to devise a setting in which the trees might really march to war.” The Letters of J. R. R. Tolkien. Edited by Humphrey Carpenter, with Christopher Tolkien. Boston: Houghton Miffl in, 1981, Letter #163. The man from Stratford seems to have nothing at all to justify his claim [to being author of the plays], whereas [the earl of] Oxford has almost everything. Sigmund Freud, 1937, from John Mitchell, Who Wrote Shakespeare? London: Thames and Hudson, 1996, p. 164.
