Summary
Amidst the Dissonance of Melkor, there was but one voice that did not forget its own thoughts and did not become disturbed by the sudden change in melody brought about by Melkor. The mighty Vala’s discordant tune held a promise between the spacing of its notes as one holds breath in suspense, but that is never realized with the clamor of gongs in harsh marcato. It was of a melody unrealized in its infancy, a rough outline of a symphony: a messy scribble on sheet music. But of its fundamental trill this single voice plucked from the void in the Timeless Halls, and in its genius, saw not the cacophony of one stave, but the endless flow of one after the other- it saw the not the movement on its own, but the entire piece.
