Interview Tolkien - BBC, janvier 1971
#2
Je note à propos de la quatrième réponse de Tolkien qu'il a également employé le verbe bestrode dans les Contes perdus :
J.R.R. Tolkien a écrit :
Now came all that host to the banks of Aros, and their array was thus: first a number of unladen Dwarves most fully armed, and amidmost the great company of those that bore the treasury of Glorund, and many a fair thing beside that they had haled from Tinwelint's halls; and behind these was Naugladur, and he bestrode Tinwelint's horse, and a strange figure did he seem, for the legs of the Dwarves are short and crooked, but two Dwarves led that horse for it went not willingly and it was laden with spoil.

On peut aussi remarquer que c'est une forme fréquemment utilisée par William Morris (The House of the Wolfings, etc.)... de là à supposer que c'est Morris qui a inspiré cette forme à Tolkien...

J'aime beaucoup la dernière intervention de Tolkien :

J.R.R. Tolkien a dit :
Won't it be rather like the case of Longfellow, people remember Longfellow wrote Hiawatha, quite forget he was a Professor of Modern Languages!

Elendil,
Qui se demande s'il serait possible d'obtenir la permission de l'Estate pour publier une traduction de cette interview.
