Stole and changed a line from Robert Browning's famous poem 'Oh, to be in England'.
How I wish I were back in England, and visiting the Bodleian Library for the Tolkien exhibit.

Re: Oh, to be in England, now that Tolkien is there
Strange Elf, I believe the exhibition will go on tour round America so you may get a chance to visit it.
I, too, wish I could be in Oxford to see this exhibition. It sounds interesting. I would love to see Tolkien's artwork first hand and buy some of the memorabilia, maybe a another Tolkien book.
It has been nearly ten years since I last visited Oxford to see Tolkien Places and would love to go back. I sometimes feel like Bilbo wanting to revisit the Lonely Mountain and see old friends again.

He beheld white shores and beyond them a far green country under a swift sunrise.
