Well, as a quick guess, the line 'dark levels all' is said by Fëanor when he stirs the Noldor to their rebellion, after the theft of Silmarils. |

Oh, no, I didn't cheat (if that was intended to me). I've just read the Silm about six times or so. |

Well, here goes then: "An oath I too shall swear, and must be free to fulfill it and go into darkness." That's actually from The History of Middle-Earth, since I own only a Finnish copy of the Silmarillion. But as far as I can say, the quote is exactly or nearly exactly the same in both. |

Hmm, I know this, I know this. I think. Is it one of the sons of Feanor? |
