Alda has just left Hobbiton.

It certainly seems like they are admitting that their over-protective act of bringing the Eldar to Valinor was rife with folly. Although I know they did it out of love like a parent might.

I often wonder why the Valar didn't forsee some of the problems that would arise by recognizing them in the different themes in the music.
