Contemporary fantasists all bow politely to Lord Tennyson and Papa Tolkien, then step around them to go back to the original texts for inspiration--and there are a lot of those texts.

Or is it perhaps that thou wouldst prefer to cringe doglike behind thy parapet and yap at thy betters?" "Oh, that was very good," Barak said admiringly. David Eddings
I taught in a small teacher's college for three or four years, at which point all the administrators got a pay raise and the teaching faculty didn't. David Eddings
Why do you persist in being so frivolous, Urgit?"Why don't we just call it a symptom of my incipient madness?"You're not going to go mad," she said firmly."Of course I'm going to go mad, mother. I'm rather looking forward to it. David Eddings
