An, Nor, El, all struck out immediately.

58. Gormok, Zingil: in A Ramer's name for Mars is the Elvish word

Karan ('red'); Venus was Zingil in A, though immediately

replacing another name that cannot be read.

59. In A it is Jeremy who speaks at this point, asking: 'How do you

know you've been there?' And Ramer replies: 'I don't: I have seen

the places, not been there. My body's never travelled. I have seen

the places either indirectly through other records, as you could

say you'd seen Hongkong if you'd looked at many long accurate

coloured films of it; or directly by using light. But how I know

what the places are is another matter.'

60. Saturn is not mentioned in A. B has: 'And Gyuruchill, Saturn, is

unmistakable'. Gyuruchill was changed to Shomori, and then to

old Enekol.

61. The Cronic Star (in the footnote by Guildford at this point):

Saturn (in astrology the leaden planet). Cronic is derived from

Kronos, the Greek god (father of Zeus) identified by the Romans

with Saturn; wholly distinct etymologically from chronic, derived

from Greek chronos 'time'.

62. On the 'Fluted Wave' see p. 194.

63. In A Ramer says here: 'I could tell you about Atlantis (though

that's not its name to me, nor Numenor): it is connected with that

Fluted Wave. And the Door TT [which is connected with the

Meg(alithic) >] of the Megalithic is too.' In B he speaks as in the

final text, but says again 'though that's not its name to me, nor

Numenor' - the last two words being later strongly struck out,

and Loudham's question (asked with 'a curious eagerness') 'What

is its name?' inserted (when the peculiar association of Lowdham

with Numenor had entered: see notes 38, 46). In the final text of

the Papers the emergence of the name Numenor is postponed

until Part Two (p. 231).

64. A has here: 'But I've seen my Marim [changed probably at once

to Albarim] playing one of their Albar-plays: the drama of the

Silver Tree.' In A the name En-keladim has not occurred (see note

48). With 'the Drama of the Silver Tree' cf. the citation from On

Fairy-Stories given in note 43.

65. In A Ramer says: 'I don't think that's invented: not by me

anyway. It seems to take place on this earth in some time or mode

or [?place].' In A he goes straight on from 'Atlantis' to his final

story.

In B Ramer comments on the Drama of the Silver Tree as in the

final text, as far as 'something like it really happens, and I have

seen it, far off perhaps or faintly.' Then follows:

I guess that the true types of my Enkeladim are invisible, unless

they turn their attention to you. That is, they are Eldilic in

Lewis's terms, in some lesser rank [added: or perhaps like

Tolkien's Unfallen Elves, only they were embodied].

All this was struck out, and replaced on a rider by the final text,

as far as 'entering as it were into their own works because of their

love for them.' Then follows: 'that is, that they are of a kind other

than Lewis's Eldila (even of lesser rank); and yet not the same as

Tolkien's Unfallen Elves, for those were embodied.'

The original B text continues with 'I think [Emberu >] Ellor is

one of their worlds .
