HA! Ironically, the key makes JRRT look rather like a Norman.
BTW that's a great book - I must have read it about 8 times.
Well, that rather changes my mental picture of the Battle of Hastings! Lucky for the Normans they didn't run into a thunderstorm.
I'm about halfway through my first reading of Tolkien and the Great War. and I agree that it's very good. Eight times, though! Outside of certain books of the Bible, I don't think I've read any book eight times in adulthood.

The MOON-Key?
The Man in the Moon had silver shoon
And his beard was of silver thread;
With opals crowned and pearls all bound
about his girdlestead.
In his mantle grey he walked one day
across a shining floor,
And with crystal key in secrecy
he opened an ivory door.
Tol-key-n
I did notice that the key was pointing right at the "key" part of his name.
