Eru letting Melkor go.. - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

This may have already been said, but I'll say it anyway. Think back to the Ainulindale, and Eru's proposition of his third theme. By this time, Melkor's discord was more than a mere disturbance, It was a full fleged war of sounds. I recall that at the revelation of this theme, Eru was almost weeping. Perhaps this was because now he saw Melkor's evil, and was putting forth beauty into the emotion of grief and sorrow, making it good.

Just a thought,
