That quote ...

Beautiful discussion.

Excuse me if I missed the exact reference , but where in the Silm is it said that the Valar and Elves don't have free will and Men do?

I always love seeing things I completely missed.
Especially philosophical principles of great import - that show just how dense I can be.
