Il est dit à plusieurs reprises dans les textes de Tolkien que le fëa (l'âme) provient d'Eru et le hröa (le corps) d'Arda. Pourtant en relisant l'Atrabeth Finrod Ah Andreth dans HoME X, je relève le passage suivant :
p. 312 :
« You see us, the Quendi, still in the first ages of our being, and the end is far off. As maybe among you death may seem to a young man in his strength ; save that we have long years of life and thought already behind us. But the end will come. That we all know. And then we must die ; we must perish utterly, it seems, for we belong to Arda (in hröa and fëa). And beyond that what ? “The going out to no return,” as you say ; “the uttermost end, the irremediable loss” ? »
(Je souligne)
Cela m'intrigue et je ne comprend pas cette parole de Finrod. Qu'en pensez-vous ?
