Corey thought this phrase (even with "world" in quotes) curious, and a-typical for JRRT (when it came up in 'The Nature of Middle-earth'), and so do I.
Do we have the original letter from Patricia Finney? I wonder if his use of this phrase (with the quotes around world) wasn't just a response to her using the phrase in her original letter? I would think this more likely than JRRT coming up with this phrase by himself, after a lifetime of avoiding it.
