My edition of Tree and Leaf only has "On Fairy Stories" and "Leaf By Niggle". Well, actually the book is titled The Tolkien Reader, and includes the Adventures of Tom Bomadil, The Homecoming of Beorthnoth, etc. I had to find Mythopoeia online and print it out years back.
I wish there were a nice hardback edition of just Mythopoeia by itself maybe with some tasteful illustrations. Wouldn't that be lovely?

Hey, Fea! What does ~aure entuluva~ mean? I'm too lazy to go look it up in my little Quenyan dictionary.

"Whence came the wish and whence the power to dream,"

"In Paradise perchance the eye may stray
from gazing upon everlasting Day
to see the day-illumined, and renew
from mirrored truth the likeness of the True.
Then looking on the Blessed Land 'twill see
that all is as it is, and yet made free:"

Both 'Mythopoeia' and 'Leaf by Niggle' have been central to my life. Above are a few of my favorite quotes from 'Mythopoeia'. Others have already been mentioned. I used be able to recite 'Mythopoeia' by heart. :) The fact that I love both works goes without saying.
I saw or dreamed of such,-but let them go- They came like truth, and disappeared like dreams;
-Lord Bryon(from Childe Harold's Pilgrimage Canto lll)
