Yesterday I attended a performance of Verdi's Aida: La Scala Milan was visiting Tel-Aviv in honour of the city's centenary. But that is not the subject of this post.
In the foyer I happened to look up and was completely taken aback. For a moment I really thought that I was looking at Dominic Monaghan (Merry Brandybuck in LOTR). It was only after a second and a third look that I realised that this person was too young to be the movie actor. (He must have been about 18 years old.) But the resemblance was absolutely startling. I wonder if he was aware that he was almost the actor's double. I wonder whether Frodo would have been aware.

The paradox has often been noted that the United States, founded in secularism, is now the most religiose country in Christendom, while England, with an established church headed by its constitutional monarch, is among the least. (Richard Dawkins, 2006)
