Summary: Feanor reflects.

Be still my heart, my soul, lest thou breakst, I grow old, I grow mad.
A prince there was, a noble, subtle prince, worthy of praise. My pride grew; I grew harsh, impatient and wild.
I heeded no one, nothing.
My pride came before my fall.
I fell.
I am fallen, before everyone.
I am a lesson to teach those of how the mighty have fallen.

Now that I recline in repose
I summon up waking memories of things lost,
I weep the lack of a thing that I sought; bliss.
To what base ends was I driven you ask? Greed, Glory, Fame?
I cannot answer, for I know not. My heart was hot, restless and impatient.

Dammed heart, be still!
Never was I meant to rashly chase, even my best laid plans went to waste.
Mother vanished, Father slain, wife abandoned, took oath, slew kin, stole, betrayed, sons doomed.
After great pain a deathly feeling comes.

Fair the end shall be, I should like to rest, but it seems I have promises to keep, and years to go before I sleep.
