But Tolkien loved trees and felt a strong connection to them; at age seventy-one, he likened his feelings to "an old tree that is losing all its leaves one by one."

The most impressive trees or, more properly, treelike creatures, are the Ents, among the most naturally powerful and dangerous beings on Middle-earth. They, like many other characters and events, were not consciously created; Tolkein says in Letter 163 that Treebeard's chapter was written much as it stands, almost as if someone else wrote it.
However, he is very clear on the source of his inspiration: the Anglo-Saxon poem "The Wanderer".

Tolkien'in seçtiği isimleri karakterlerin özellikleriyle ilişkilendirmesi
While Tolkien often chose words for their sound, a close look at many of them suggests that meaning had more influence than might be suspected or claimed.
For example, names he gave to his dwarves from the Elder Edda, when translated from the Old Norse, fit their owners' characteristics quite well. Thrain is translated as Yearner, descriptive of a dwarf who is restless and greedy for gold; Gloin (ON Gleamer) is chief firemaker, with his brother, of the dwarves; Thror (Thrive) is head of the dwarf dynasty; Thorin (Darer) leads the dwarves into battle; Durin (Doorward) holds the secret to entering Moria; and Bombur (Tubby) needs no explanation.
