My apologise Tar-Elenion. I have re-read
The Tales of the Years in
The War of the Jewels and found to my surprise not an argument against your point but the absolute proof for it:
Quote:
|
In the manuscript as it was originally written the Elder Days began with the Awakening of the Elves: 'Here begin the Elder Days, or the First Age of the Children of Ilúvatar'; but 'the Elder Days' was struck out and does not appear in the typescript.
|
I had missed that one or forgot about; so all my argument against your opinion is vain.
Respectfully
Findegil
