In History of Middle Earth Vo. 10 "Morgoth Ring" there is original version of
Ainulindale, as written by JRR Tolkien. Christopher Tolkien preparing it for
publication shortened it, removing all references to Pengolodh telling it to
Aelfwine. In the original version there is a following passage after the
one cited above:
"And Manwë and Ulmo and Aulë were as Kings; but Varda was the Queen of the
Valar, and the spouse of Manwë, and her beauty was high and terrible and of
great reverence. Yavanna was her sister, and Yavanna espoused Aulë; but Nienna
dwells alone, even as does Ulmo. And these with Melkor are the Seven Great Ones
of the Kingdom of Arda. But think not, Ælfwine, that the shapes wherein the
Great Ones array themselves are at all times like unto the shapes of kings and
queens of the Children of Ilúvatar; for at whiles they may clothe them in their
own thought, made visible in forms terrible and wonderful. And I myself, long
years agone, in the land of the Valar have seen Yavanna in the likeness of a
Tree; and the beauty and majesty of that form could not be told in words, not
unless all the things that grow in the earth, from the least unto the greatest,
should sing in choir together, making unto their queen an offering of song to
be laid before the throne of
Ilúvatar."
