In the beginning was the Music and the Music was Eru, the One, who in Arda is called Ilúvatar. And Eru created in His thought the Holy Ones who sang the universe as He had propounded. And Eru was pleased so He said: “Eä! Let these things Be!” And Arda Was.
When the Heaven was born, when the Earth was born, the Holy Ones entered Arda. That marked the beginning of Time for there had been no Time before Arda was made and in Time the life of the Eruhini, the Children of Eru, both Elves and Men, would unfold.
So Eru gave the Eruhini a Place and a Time to live in. The Children, strange and free, had been conceived by Eru alone and in their being His mind was reflected. Thus with the Children Eru shared His own Primary Imagination, the power to Create, and so contribute with their finite minds in the eternal act of Creation.
