Poetry to make the heart sing

Is it just me or is Tolkien's elven Rivendell home similar in tone and vision to Colorado Springs Glen Eyrie?



Two and a half decades ago Robert and I relished the beauty of Glen Eyrie during a Pastor's Seminar.  Of all the ill advised uTurns, after we left the other-worldly retreat we went directly to Walmart.  I cried.  It was heavenly poetry to dusty prose.  Stark.  
That experience set this truth clearly:  Set your hearts on things above, not on earthly things.  Colossians 3

Lord of the Rings Rivendell
