“But Tilion was wayward and uncertain in speed, and held not to his appointed path; and he sought to come near to Arien, being drawn by her splendour, though the flame of Anar scorched him, and the Island of the Moon was darkened.” - The Silmarillion, Chapter 11, “Of the Sun and Moon”, J.R.R. Tolkien. Or, the tale of how the Lady of Light, the Wise and the Ring-Maker were lost, and two were found and born anew, while the other stayed bound in darkness.
