'Ainulindalë’

The beginning:
“There was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar [God]; and he made first the Ainur, the Holy Ones [angels]…and they sang before him, and he was glad.” Then Melkor, the most mighty of the Ainur [Lucifer], created discord and others “attuned their music to his.” Then Ilúvatar silenced the music and spoke “…And thou, Melkor, shalt see that no theme may be played that hath not its uttermost source in me, nor can any alter the music that is my despite. For he that attempteth this shall prove but mine instrument in the devising of things more wonderful, which he himself hath not imagined.”

This is not allegory. I have put in the interpretations myself. Tolkien hated allegory, but believed in applicability (allowing the reader to get what they want from it rather than having the designs of the author thrust at them). Still, the fundamentals of ‘Ainulindalë,’ I believe, are rooted in Christianity, and thus help to shed a different light on it. It is beautiful.
