No, I think we're talking about the same thing. Like I said, Tolkien's writing style is almost like Shakespeare (or old school English talky talk) kind of dumbed down so that it's readable to modern people, and that does kind of cheapen it, since it makes the prose into a kind of stereotype, but it still works in the context of the book.
