English:

 

But things there are they do not see, not alone or speaking together, for to no one but to

himself Ilúvatar has revealed all that he holds for them, and in all ages come forth new

things, and they did not see coming, for they do not come from long ago. And it was that as

this vision about the World was played to them, the Ainur saw it held things about which

they had not thought. And they saw with wonder the coming of the children of Ilúvatar and

the home he made for them; and they saw that they themselves in the labouring of their

music had made this home, and yet they did not know its purpose beyond its own beauty.

For the children of Ilúvatar he conceived them alone; and they came with the third theme,

and they were not in the theme that Ilúvatar fashioned at the beginning, and not one of the

Ainur fashioned them.

When they saw them, the greater they loved them, being things beyond the Ainur, new and

free, in where they saw the inner thought of Ilúvatar and they learned a little of his wisdom,

that before was hidden from the Ainur.

Now, the children of Ilúvatar are the Elves and men, the Firstborn and the Followers. And in

all the splendours of the World, its vast halls and spaces and its fires, Ilúvatar chose

somewhere for their dwelling in the Deeps of Time and in the middle of the innumerable

stars. And this home seemed a little thing for those who they thought alone about the

nobility of the Ainur, and not about their terrible sharpness; as those who would take all the

field of Arda for the beginning of a pillar and will raise it to the core of its summit, to the

time it is bitter beyond a needle; or they think alone about the vastness of the World, that

yet the Ainur shape, and not the straightness to that they shape all things in it.

But when the Ainur saw this land in a vision and saw the children of Ilúvatar arising in it,

the mightiest of the Ainur put all their thought and their desire to that place. And of these

Ainur, Melkor was the Lord as he was in the beginning the mightiest of the Ainur who sang

in the Music.

And he spoke untruths to himself at the beginning, that he desired travelling there and

controlling all things for the good of the children of Ilúvatar; controlling the whirling of the

heat and the cold that came through him. But he desired rather oppressing to his will Elves

and Men, desiring the gifts that Ilúvatar said he will give to them; and he wished himself to

possess vassals and faithful ones, and to be called Lord, and to be Master over wills.
