The speaker is Pengolodh citing a 'saying' of Rumil:
Quote:
|
For the tounges of the and voices of the Valar are great and stern, and yet also swift and subtle in movement, making sounds that we find hard to counterfeit; and their words are mostly rapid, like the glitter of long swords, like the rush of leaves in a great wind or the fall of stones in the mountains.

Pengolodh comments [ and I love this!]'Palinly the effect of Valarin upon Elvish ears was not pleasing'.
