Current mood:impervious
From The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien letter 77, 31 July 1944
"… I should have hated the Roman Empire in its day (as I do), and remained a patriotic Roman citizen, while preferring a free Gaul and seeing good in Carthaginians. Delenda est Carthago… I was actually taught at school that that was a fine saying… There lies still some hope that… propaganda defeats itself, and even produces the opposite effect."
