"There was a willow hanging over the mill-pool……" — J.R.R. Tolkien
"There was a willow hanging over the mill-pool and I learned to climb it. It belonged to a butcher on the Stratford Road, I think. One day they cut it down. They didn't do anything with it: the log just lay there. I never forgot that."
