Music of Creation inwards Tolkien
The Power of the Ring, drawing on A.K. Coomaraswamy, Fire or “Agni” (in Latin Ignis) is 1 of the names of God inwards the ancient liturgical hymns known equally the Rg Veda - a spiritual Dominicus whose rays are the Devas or Angelic Powers (“And sundry sang, they brought to involve heed the Great Chant, whereby they made the Dominicus to shine”). Agni is the giver of the Spirit (Breath), a “formal low-cal that is the drive of the existence as well as becoming of all things”. Coomaraswamy sees a connector hither amongst the teachings of Heraclitus. He too points out a linguistic “equivalence of life, light, as well as sound” inwards the like roots of the words for “to shine” as well as “to sound” – a connector acquaint fifty-fifty inwards English linguistic communication when nosotros verbalize of “bright” ideas as well as “brilliant” sayings.
Tolkien’s mythological structure has deep roots – less, I suspect, from the report of Indian organized faith than from the implications of philology (he existence a seer who, 1 someone rightly said, had gone “inside language”). Also he was theologically amend informed than you lot powerfulness think, since 1 of the swell theologians of our age, Louis Bouyer, was a closed friend as well as admirer, according to of import enquiry past times Michael Devaux. It seems that for Tolkien, the creation is envisaged inwards 3 stages - music, light, as well as being - corresponding inwards around means to the Father, the Son, as well as the Spirit. Yet the whole Trinity is involved inwards every stage, as well as the Logos or Word, who is the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, tin justly last called the order, harmony as well as important of the cosmos, revealed to the Angels but exclusively expressed inwards creation through the Breath of God.
