I guess there was NEVER peace in the dungeons of Angband and Utumno.....

"...[The Lord of the Rings] is to exemplify most clearly a recurrent theme: the place in 'world politics' of the unforeseen and unforeseeable acts of will, and deeds of virtue of the apparently small, ungreat, fogotten in the places of the Wise and Great (good as well as evil). A moral of the whole (after the primary symbolism of the Ring, as the will to mere power, seeking to make itself objective by physical force and mechanism, and so also inevitably by lies) is the obvious one that without the high and noble the simple and vulgar is utterly mean; and without the simple and ordinary the noble and heroic is meaningless." Letters of JRR Tolkien, page 160. |

I read a similar quote somewhere. however I thought it was in one of your essays. And it was my understanding that not only the elves experienced this time lapse, but the local environment as well. Last edited by Kevin McIntyre : 01-17-2002 at 10:59 PM. |

It is suggested in PoME, Appendix on Languages, The Languages at the End of the Third Age, paragrph 12.

Well Tolkien assumes there'll be a messianic age so that'll be peaceful, but the elves fate is unknown.
