I’m sure I read somewhere that there was a prophecy that Isengard would stand until the forest moved against it, or something to that effect. However, I cannot figure out where I got that from.
I thought it was actually the reason why he intentionally destroyed the forest. He was trying to prevent the prophecy while actually causing it.
Yet, I cannot find any proof of this. Did I just imagine this?
The image came from here.
Thanks for this. I was not aware of the direct attribution by JRR, but it doesn’t surprise me.
So much of English lit is inspired by Shakespeare.
