Quotes by Verlyn Flieger (?)

“Il concetto di progenie dell'uno suggerisce una sorta di divisibilità pitagorica di un'unità nei confronti dei suoi componenti, senza però che vi sia alcuna diminuzione della totalità. Gli Ainur sono poteri o principati che emanano direttamente dalla divinità e sono presentati nel testo come aspetti della sua natura. Il passo successivo della creazione si verifica quando Eru propone agli Ainur un tema musicale, invitandoli ad "abbellirlo" e fare di esso "una Grande Musica". In questa Musica il mondo viene concepito, e dalla Musica esso nasce.”
― Verlyn Flieger, Splintered Light: Logos and Language in Tolkien's World

“L'opera è un legendarium di ampio respiro, una mitologia immaginaria che contiene tutti i personaggi, gli elementi e i temi consueti del genere: la creazione e la disobbedienza, gli dèi e gli uomini, l'amore e la guerra, l'eroismo e il fato. Più di qualsiasi altra cosa, e ancor di più che nella maggior parte delle mitologie, è una storia che riguarda la luce. Immagini della luce in tutti i suoi stadi (brillante, attenuata, intera, rifratta, trasparente o di tutti i colori dell'arcobaleno) pervadono i canti e le storie del mondo inventato, un mondo popolato di subcreatori le cui interazioni con la luce e i cui atteggiamenti verso di essa danno forma al loro mondo e ai loro destini.”
