backwards?
I'm reading the Silmarillion at the moment (again). It says that when the laps of the sun and moon were first placed in the sky, they rose in the west and set in the east. I thought this was a bit odd, but in the text it affirms this and says words to the effect of "men's eyes and hearts were drawn westwards by the rising of the sun" (not a quote). But in our world the sun and moon rise in the east. Any comments?
