    the cold empty void beneath Tolkien's romantic ideal

    I think the damnation is in the interpretation, rather than what the actual text is saying. Is it contradicting the text? No. But it's certainly not the most imaginative or charitable one. And certainly not well-rooted in the context in which the story is written.

    the cold empty void beneath Tolkien's romantic ideal

    Honestly, this is one of the issues with reading something absent from the text as being absent from the world it tells us about.
