More on Mirkwood
Description from Wikipedia:
Mirkwood is a name used for two distinct fictional forests in J. R. R. Tolkien's legendarium. Forests play an enormous role throughout the invented history of Tolkien's Middle-earth and are inevitably an important episode on the heroic quests of his characters. The forest device is used as a mysterious transition from one part of the story to another.
The term is taken from William Morris, who borrowed it from the forest Myrkviðr of Norse mythology. Projected into Old English, it appears as Myrcwudu in Tolkien's The Lost Road, as a poem sung by Ælfwine (King Sheave, The Lost Road and Other Writings:91) .
