Extract from a letter by J.R.R. Tolkien to his son Christopher:
10 April 1944
"I sometimes feel appalled at the thought of the sum total of human misery all over the world at the present moment: the millions parted, fretting, wasting in unprofitable days - quite apart from torture, pain, death, bereavement, injustice.
If anguish were visible, almost the whole of this benighted planet would be enveloped in a dense dark vapor, shrouded from the amazed vision of the heavens!
And the products of it all will be mainly evil - historically considered."
