my tolkien revisitation has involved many big thoughts but my small thought from tonight's grocery-run-by-bike is: WHAT is up with that one 'hive of ants' simile. like. my guy. i am very sure hives are for bees. ants have hills, or nests maybe, or like, a group of them is a colony. but gandalf at the council of elrond is all:
I came to Buckland and found it in uproar, as busy as a hive of ants that has been stirred with a stick.
i mean. radagast would never!!
