"Beyond the western world, on sand,
On sand of pearls in Elvenland."
From The Lay of Leithian VII 2192-2193
as quoted in Quenta Silmarillion 9
Of Beren and Lúthien
The lands in Aman, west of the Great Sea, where the Elves dwelt, and to which they would journey from the havens of Middle-earth. The name is a translation of the Elvish word Eldamar, and appears in various related forms, such as 'Elvenhome' or 'Elvenesse'. This same part of Aman is sometimes referred to as 'Faerie'.
