Tolkien had a very deep understanding of the fear of death and clinging to power "beyond all joy."

Biden would be wise to leave office in peace. But he won't. He'll hold onto it long past his due date. And like Tar-Atanamir, will be a senile demented wreck of a man soiling his undergarments as he sits on "the throne".

Once I read a column that noted how politicians who become senators, representatives, governors and big-city mayors have 14 years to get elected as president or vice-president, before people get tired of having them around. For Biden, that “due date” passed in 1986, two years before his first presidential run.
