Edith Bratt:
Wagner wrote it in four acts. It starts with a ring, a magical ring which can rule the world and which is forged by a dwarf.
J.R.R. Tolkien:
It's Alberich. Well, I have picked up the odd bit of German mythology.
Edith Bratt:
But to harness the ring's power, you first have to renounce love.
J.R.R. Tolkien:
Oh. A very sensible exchange, in my opinion.
Edith Bratt:
Well, that's because you're a coldhearted Viking.
