    “It is said by the Eldar that in water there lives yet the echo of the Music of the Ainur more than in any substance that is in this Earth; and many of the Children of Ilúvatar hearken still unsated to the voices of the Sea, and yet know not for what they listen.”

      Yes I struggled to read it until I discovered this audio … now I read along with audio and keep returning to both … have been into Tolkiens work for many ages … first discovered The Hobbit around 1970 very quickly after that moved onto The Lord Of The Rings … have forgotten how many times I have read them all … kept picking up & putting down Silmarillion over the years until this audio … Martin Shaw does an excellent job of narrating this work
