Does it have anything to do with the Music of the Ainur, by any chance? I'm thinking particularly Melkor's discords, here ...
Made long ago - at the beginning of time
Part of thy previous staves - is it then, the second or third theme, taken from the first, but different because of Melkor?
Spoken differently by one - there goes Melkor and his discords
Seperated kin - the rift that grew between Melkor and the other Ainur.
Spoken by the jewel - something to do with the Silmarils. The music was taken and twisted by Melkor, and his taking of the Silmarils caused much evil. "Spoken" implying the theme was reflected in the tale of the Silmarils.
And then I got completely stuck. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] Please tell me if I'm at all close [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
