Re: Hmmm

While rereading portions of the Silmarillion, I came across a reference in the Darkening of Valinor chapter to the Teleri declining to attend the Festival of the first fruits at Manwe's halls because they "recked" little of the changing of seasons, festivals and the activities of the Valar choosing instead to sing by the sea. Perhaps the Teleri/Sindar were simply less serious than their Noldorin brethren and more susceptible to singing nonsense songs and poking fun at "mortals".
