addition:
And some have said that the Vision ceased ere the fulfilment of the Dominion of Men and the fading of the Firstborn; wherefore, though the Music is over all, the Valar have not seen as with sight the Later Ages or the ending of the World. Quoth Pengoloð.
§20 Before 'Let these things Be!' the word ' Ea! ' was added subsequently; and after
'Ilúvatar had made a new thing' was added 'Ea, the World that Is.'
§ 23 'in the midst of the vast halls of the World'; D 'in the midst of the vast halls of Aman'; 'Aman' here later emended to 'Ea' (see note 15 above, and p. 37).
§ 24 'they went down into the Halls of Aman'; D 'they came down into the fields of Arda'
'but the Earth he could not put from his heart'; D 'but he did not put the desire of the kingdom of Arda from his heart'
The concluding passage of this paragraph, from 'For he was alone, without friend or companion...', omitted.
§ 25 'shape and form'; 'form' emended in D to 'hue'.
§ 27 'But this we know:'; D 'But this said Rúmil in the end of the Ainulindalë which I have recounted to thee:'
'the coming of the Children'; D 'the coming of the Firstborn'
'And yet their labour was not vain, and slowly the Earth was shaped and made firm'; D 'And yet their labour was not all in vain; and though nowhere and in no work was their will and purpose wholly fulfilled, and all things were in hue and shape other than the Valar had at first intended, slowly nonetheless the Earth was fashioned and made firm.'
Heading before §29: 'Words of Pengolod'; D 'Here are the words of Pengoloð to Ælfwine'
§ 29 'Pengolod'; D 'Pengoloð' (but 'Pengoloð' in C §30)
§ 31 'the loremasters of the Noldor'; D 'the lore masters' 'the Little World'; D 'the Little Kingdom'
After the passage about the coming of Tulkas in §31 the text of D shows so many changes from C that I give the next part in full.
MORGOTH`S RING - AINULINDALË - Version D - 32
In that time the Valar brought order to the seas and the lands and the mountains, and Yavanna planted at last the seeds that she had long devised. And since, when the fires had been subdued or buried beneath the primeval hills, there was need of light, Aulë wrought two mighty lamps for the enlightenment of the Middle-earth which he had built amid the Encircling Seas. Then Varda filled the lamps and Manwë hallowed them, and the Valar set them upon high pillars, more lofty far than are any mountains of the later days. One lamp they raised near to the North of Middle-earth, and it was named [Forontë >]
Illuin; and the other was raised in the South, and it was named
[Hyarantë >] Ormal; and the light of the Lamps of the Valar flowed out over the Earth, so that all was lit as it were in a changeless Day.
Then the seeds that Yavanna had sown began swiftly to sprout and to burgeon, and there arose a multitude of growing things great and small, [grasses, and flowers of many hues, and trees whose blossom was like snow upon the mountains, so tall were they, >]
