others there are who have no names among Elves or Men, for
they appear seldom in forms visible. But great and fair was
Melian of the people of Yavanna, who [struck out: on her
behalf] tended once the gardens of Este, ere she came to
Middle-earth. And wise was Olorin, counsellor of Irmo: secret
enemy of the secret evils of Melkor, for his bright visions drove
away the imaginations of darkness.
Of Melian much is later told; but of Olorin this tale does not
speak. In later days he dearly loved the Children of Eru, and
took pity on their sorrows. Those who hearkened to him arose
from despair; and in their hearts the desire to heal and to renew
awoke, and thoughts of fair things that had not yet been but
might yet be made for the enrichment of Arda. Nothing he made
himself and nothing he possessed, but kindled the hearts of
others, and in their delight he was glad.
But not all of the maiar were faithful to the Valar; for some
were from the beginning drawn to the power of Melkor, and
others he corrupted later to his service. Sauron was the name by
which the chief of these was afterwards called, but he was not
alone.]

All the changes shown in the text of LQ 1 given above were taken up
into the second complete and continuous typescript LQ 2, made some
seven years later (pp. 141 - 2), which introduced a few errors. It cannot
be said when the alterations were made to LQ 1, though most of them
look as if they were made at the same time.
The typescript LQ 2 was much more fully and carefully emended in
this chapter than in any subsequent one, though in many cases only on
one of the two copies. I give here a list of these alterations:*
$1 After 'the Secret Fire was sent to burn at the heart of the World'
was added: 'and it was called Ea', with 'Let it be! ' in a footnote
(struck out on the top copy).
$2 'and some of these Men have confused with the Elves, but
wrongfully' > 'these are the Maiar, whom Men have often
confounded with the Elves, but wrongly' ('wrongfully' was an
error on the part of the typist of LQ 1).
$3 On the form Lorien with short vowel see p. 56 note 2. The typist
did not understand my father's corrections of the name on
LQ 1, which were unclear, and typed at the three occurrences
($$3, 6) Lorien, Lorin, Lorion. At the first two my father
corrected the name to Lorinen, but struck this out, probably at
once; his final form on LQ 2 was Lorien (so marked).
$4 'in all the regions of the air.' > '... air; therefore he is surnamed
Sulimo.'
The typist of LQ 2 omitted the word 'kindler' after 'Varda',
so producing 'Varda of the stars'; my father changed 'stars' to
'Stars', showing that he had not observed the error.
