Divine Comedy is called like this because is a Comedy in the sense that
"starts bad, ends well"
tragedy
"starts good end bad"
Divine because is good, not because it meddles with the divine.
Signed, Boccaccio.

Dude

"[E]ven if we could [hide the Ring], soon or late the Lord of the Rings would learn of its hiding place and would bend all his power towards it."

"Hush!" said Gandalf from the shadows at the back of the porch. "Evil things do not come into this valley; but all the same we should not name them. The Lord of the Ring is not Frodo, but the master of the Dark Tower of Mordor, whose power is again stretching out over the world. We are sitting in a fortress. Outside it is getting dark."
