::By the way is this humorous account correct? "The Rhine maidens are looking after a lump of magic gold. And the magic of this gold consists of the fact that anybody who will renounce love and make a ring out of this gold will become Master of the Universe." If so, that would tie in with the [[One Ring]] of Tolkien's ''[[Lord of the Rings]]''. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 08:59, 31 January 2010 (EST)

:::I'll leave it up to you, whether it would be helpful to move things around to give preference to "Ring Cycle." And yes, that is a correct characterization. There are further parallels between Wagner's Ring and LOTR, as the ring also carries a curse in Wagner's version. I'm not sure, but Tolkien must have been influenced by it. (btw, looks like I might need to start a "Moonlight" page as well.) [[User:JDWpianist|JDWpianist]] 09:07, 31 January 2010 (EST)
