You might as well say that thinking is a disease of the mind. It would be more near the truth to say that languages, especially modern European languages, are a disease of mythology. But Language cannot, all the same, be dismissed. The incarnate mind, the tongue, and the tale are in our world coeval. The human mind, endowed with the powers of generalization and abstraction, sees not only green-grass, discriminating it from other things (and finding it fair to look upon), but sees that it is green as well as being grass. But how powerful, how stimulating to the very faculty that produced it, was the invention of the adjective: no spell or incantation in Faerie is more potent. And that is not surprising: such incantations might indeed be said to be only another view of adjectives, a part of speech in a mythical grammar. The mind that thought of light, heavy, grey, yellow, still, swift, also conceived of magic that would make heavy things light and able to fly, turn grey lead into yellow gold, and the still rock into a swift water. If it could do the one, it could do the other; it inevitably did both. When we can take green from grass, blue from heaven, and red from blood, we have already an enchanter's power—upon one plane; and the desire to wield that power in the world external to our minds awakes. It does not follow that we shall use that power well upon any plane. We may put a deadly green upon a man's face and produce a horror; we may make the rare and terrible blue moon to shine; or we may cause woods to spring with silver leaves and rams to wear fleeces of gold, and put hot fire into the belly of the cold worm. But in such "fantasy," as it is called, new form is made; Faerie begins; Man becomes a sub-creator.<sup id="cite_ref-Tolkien_1964_p25_24-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Tolkien_1964_p25-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup></p></blockquote> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_(mural_sketch).jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_%28mural_sketch%29.jpg/330px-Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_%28mural_sketch%29.jpg" decoding="async" width="330" height="183" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_%28mural_sketch%29.jpg/495px-Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_%28mural_sketch%29.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8f/Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_%28mural_sketch%29.jpg/660px-Akseli_Gallen-Kallela_-_L%C3%B6nnrot_and_the_Oral_Poets_%28mural_sketch%29.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3589" data-file-height="1992" /></a><figcaption>Tolkien was unable to emulate <a href="/wiki/Elias_L%C3%B6nnrot" title="Elias Lönnrot">Elias Lönnrot</a>, who travelled Finland recording <a href="/wiki/Oral_tradition" title="Oral tradition">oral folklore</a>, and then reconstructed the country's mythology.<sup id="cite_ref-25" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-25"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>25<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> 1912 sketch for a mural, <i>Lönnrot and the Rune Singers</i>, by <a href="/wiki/Akseli_Gallen-Kallela" title="Akseli Gallen-Kallela">Akseli Gallen-Kallela</a> </figcaption></figure> <p>Tolkien scholars have likened his views on the creation of myth to the <a href="/wiki/Christianity" title="Christianity">Christian</a> concept of <a href="/wiki/Logos_(Christianity)" title="Logos (Christianity)">Logos</a> or "The Word", which is said to act as both "the [...] language of nature" spoken into being by God, and "a repetition in the finite mind of the eternal act of creation in the infinite I AM".<sup id="cite_ref-26" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-26"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>26<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-27" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-27"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>27<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p><a href="/wiki/Verlyn_Flieger" title="Verlyn Flieger">Verlyn Flieger</a> wrote that <a href="/wiki/Elias_L%C3%B6nnrot" title="Elias Lönnrot">Elias Lönnrot</a> intentionally created the <i><a href="/wiki/Kalevala" title="Kalevala">Kalevala</a></i> as a mythology for Finland, giving it "a world of magic and mystery, a heroic age of story that may never have existed in precisely the form he gave it, but nevertheless fired Finland with a sense of its own independent worth."<sup id="cite_ref-Flieger_2004_28-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Flieger_2004-28"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>28<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In her view, Tolkien, <a href="/wiki/Finnish_influences_on_Tolkien#Kalevala" title="Finnish influences on Tolkien">who had read the <i>Kalevala</i></a>, "envisioned himself" doing exactly the same thing, except that <a href="/wiki/A_mythology_for_England" title="A mythology for England">the mythology would be entirely fictive</a>.
