Sauron, in The Lord of The Rings is a mysterious figure. I imagine him there at the top of his tower and suddenly see him for who he is. Today's homage to Tolkien...

@neilhimself.neilgaiman.com, thought you might like this one.
Sauron When it comes to Dark Lords, I’m the Darkest Darkest Dark Lord. No Dark Lord is Darker than me Not one. I was saying to Saruman just the other day Saruman, nice guy, but, he’s not me. Wants to be, but no. I said: Sure, you’re Saruman the White And that’s okay, that’s your thing But I know everything there is about Dark Lords. You see, I’m a smart guy Smartest Dark Lord you’ll meet. Ever I have a volcano No-one else has a volcano I call it Mount Doom, actually It’s kind of a play on words – like “doom and gloom” because it’s got an atmosphere. Great atmosphere. You should come. It’s where we incinerate documents Oh, and people, when I fire them It’s by the orc training ground which we call The Golf Course. That’s on the Plat-eau, the Plat-eau of Gorgoroth actually that’s Golforoth: The guy who wrote it couldn’t spell. I fired him. I said: “JRR, maybe you need to go to school. – We’re getting the signs changed. They’ll be the best signs. (Cont'd next image) 18 holes. Great course and the views... The clubhouse is at Minas Morgul That’s pronounced Mogul. After my other job I win every time. Nazgul, orcs, trolls, balrogs – no-one ever beats me In all these thousands of years. No-one’s better than me at golf Never. Think of that. It shows, doesn’t it – who’s best at golf? You don’t need to answer that It’s a rhetorical question, rhetorical questions don’t have answers (– It’s me, by the way.) At the top of Barad-Dur I look out over Middle-Earth. Barad-Dur’s my tower. It means: Dark Tower. It’s named after me. I’m the Dark Lord. Did I mention that? I have great eyesight. My eyesight is so great, I had them tested. The Orctician said: “You’ve got great eyesight.” There’s this flame around me. A big, beautiful flame. So beautiful. So bright. It burns and burns in the shape of an eye. It’s the biggest eye, actually. It’s big. It’s orange. (The picture is the flaming eye of Sauron, from The Lord of the Rings movie, by Peter Jackson)

When Hazel randomly bites or swats at me, I just imagine that she’s keeping the ghosts in our apartment away from me.
