Quenta Silmarillion, Chapter 3: of the coming of the Elves and the captivity of Melkor
But at the bidding of Manwë Mandos spoke, and he said: 'In this age the Children of Illúvatar shall come indeed, but they come not yet. Moreover it is doom that the Firstborn shall come in the darkness, and shall look first upon the stars. To Varda ever shall they call at need.'
Mandos: sure, they're coming and we should take care of them, but they're not here yet, are they? I'm sure we can party another year or decade or so... anyway, they're supposed to see the stars first, so I'm sure we can't do too much wrong.
This feels like me when I really have to go to bed, but surely one more page or tumblr post will fit in there. I can do it afterwards.
