'Origin of Gandalf'
Der Berggeist - J. Madlener
On summer holiday 1911, J. R. R. Tolkien picked up a postcard of the above in Switzerland. According to his official biographer, Humphrey Carpenter, Tolkien carefully preserved the postcard, and on the paper cover wrote, 'Origin of Gandalf.' [59]
"All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go, therefore, and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age."
