rex Posted April 29, 2014 Now that Tolkien is being brought in this answers the op's question. Going by Iluvatar's counterpoints to Melkor's harmonic dissonances in The Music of the Ainur, then yes there is an ever present landlord. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Â Heck! your not telling me you actually read the Silmarilion? That's impressive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rex Posted April 29, 2014 (edited) Heck! your not telling me you actually read the Silmarilion? That's impressive. I'm well informed but not that well read! Have read that chapter from the Ainulindale and other selected chapters, but not from cover to cover. I've followed the path of least resistance and read the 'executive summary' of Tolkien in The Magical World of the Inklings.

Apech Posted April 30, 2014 An Elf walks into a bar orders a drink and swigs it down with one gulp, then falls on the floor laughing. A Dwarf goes up him and says "Are you Legolas?" "Legolas? You must be joking I've only just started." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian Posted April 30, 2014 Â Heck! your not telling me you actually read the Silmarilion? That's impressive. I suspect more than a few of us have, actually. Â Â More than 30 years ago, I'm sorry to say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
