I think you may find bitter herbs already are his main diet. Bitter herbs came out of his mouth like regurgitations from the Pit. (That's poetic, Greystone, if you're watching. I know you must appreciate a good metaphor.)

How to be a spawn or Divorce is the Devil The type of unreasoning primitive anger demonstrated by Garret, is surely justification for a divorce, or is it. Garrett however is of course so filled with the the white light of God that all reason leaves him and is replaced by an ecstasy of froth. Tolkien on Trees Excerpt from a letter to Michael Tolkien, JRR Tolkien's son. 11/Oct/68 Grave abuses were as much an element in Christian 'liturgical' behaviour from the beginning as now (St Paul's strictures on eucharistic behaviour are sufficient to show this !)....There is no resemblance between the 'mustard-seed' and the full grown tree. For those living in the days of it's branching the Tree is the thing, for the history of a living thing is part of it's life and the history of a divine thing is sacred. The wise may know that it began with a seed but it is vain to try and dig it up, for it no longer exists, and the virtues and powers that that it had now reside in the Tree. Very good: but in husbandry the authorities, the keepers of the Tree, must look after it, according to such wisdom as they possess, prune it, remove cankers, rid it of parasites, and so forth. (With trepidation, knowing how little their knowledge of growth is!). But they will certainly do harm, if they are obsessed with the desire of going back to the seed, or even to the first youth of the plant... Narrators Note : This missive was prompted by discussions about divorce. a very prominent concern at that time.
