It seems at
least probablethat my father’s view of The Silmarilliondid actually arise
from the fact that what may be called the ‘Quenta phase’ of the work in the
1930sbegan in a condensed synopsis serving a particular purpose,
but then underwentexpansion and refinement in successive stages
until it lost the appearance of asynopsis, but nonetheless
retaining, from the form of its origin,
acharacteristic ‘evenness’of
tone.
