Hello everyone. Am I misunderstanding something or did anyone also notice that in the "complete" The Lay of the Fall of Gondolin in Complete Poems it says that Tuor's home, or at least where Eärendel was born, was on the EAST walls?
Thence Earendel sprang in glory, whose eyes held silver flame,
shining seaman of the oceans; and all waves sing his name -
the fairest of all-men folk, who passed the Gates of Dread,
half-mortal & half-elfin, undying a long dead.
In a house the builded slender on the high walls of the East
he came through the Gates of Summer (the holiest elfin-feast)
to the white town of the Gnome-folk; and laughed he at his birth,
for the ways were flower-laden and the folk all full of mirth.
Greetings
