The Silmarillion: Ch.3 Of the coming of the Elves and the captivity of Melkor

[Dunadan]

Hello

Just a quick question for now:

Now the Quendi loved all of Arda that they had yet seen, and green things that grew and the sun of summer were their delight; but nonetheless they were ever moved most in heart by the Stars, and the hours of twilight in clear weather, at 'morrow-dim' and at 'even-dim', were the times of their greatest joy. For in those hours in the spring of the year they had first awakened to life in Arda.

(quoted above by Maedhros from The War of the Jewels)

Sun?? I thought that there was only starlight when the Elves woke. Correct me if I'm wrong...

cheers
