„Now it was a time of festival, as
Melkor knew well. Though all tides and seasons were at the will of the
Valar,
and in
Valinor there was no winter of death, nonetheless they dwelt then in the Kingdom of
Arda, and that was but a small
realm in the
halls of Eä, whose life is Time, which flows ever from the first note to the last chord of
Eru. And even as it was then the delight of the Valar (as is told in the
Ainulindalë) to clothe themselves as in a vesture in the forms of the Children of
Ilúvatar, so also did they eat and drink, and gather the fruits of
Yavanna from the Earth, which under Eru they had made.
”
And some darker music for the descendants of the
Éothéod.
