For any other Silmarillion fans, it made me feel like how, after the Valar conducted the War of Wrath and imprisoned Morgoth in the timeless void, Manwë made it very clear to Elves and Men and everyone else left alive that there would be no more divine intervention.
This is it now, no more restructuring of the circles of the world, make of it what you can.
It's not necessarily a bad thing, it's just nice to think that, in a time of great need or strife, gods will ride in with thunderous might to save things. And sure, they occasionally lightly put their thumb on the scales if they notice things going really badly wrong - like sending the Istari when Sauron started his alt-right podcast that led to full on fascism.
But mostly, they're in Aman, focusing on things that they enjoy and make them happy. I don't know a good word in English to describe that feeling.
That's also my interpretation of the text. So I refuse to mark it off-topic, you can't make me, thou jail-crow of Mandos!
(In a way we're all jail-crows of Mandos in we don't know where we're going or if there's anything next. But in a much bigger sense, for me, that lack of knowledge isn't a prison, it's freedom. Anyway I didn't want you to interpret my Silm quote as an insult, blessings of Ulmo - who gave a shit and tried his best - upon you!)
