“[...]an author should never conceive himself as bringing into existence beauty or wisdom which did not exist before, but simply and solely as trying to embody in terms of his own art some reflection of eternal Beauty and Wisdom.”

Résumé
Rehabilitations and Other Essays is a collection of essays by C.S. Lewis.
The essay "The Alliterative Metre" includes a mention of an unpublished text by J.R.R. Tolkien: "Professor Tolkien will soon, I hope, be ready to publish an alliterative poem". It remains unknown to which poem Lewis is referring, although suggestions have included "The Fall of Arthur", "The Homecoming of Beorhtnoth Beorhthelm's Son", "Lay of the Children of Húrin", or poems included in The Legend of Sigurd and Gudrún.[1]
The essay also includes a poem (p. 122) about himself and Tolkien "in a Berkshire bar" where they meet a man claiming to have seen a dragon.[1][note 1] Tolkien commented on the poem in his letter 300.
