[cuthalions]

Then Túrin was roused into a sudden wakefulness of rage and fear, and seeing a form bending over him in the gloom with a blade in hand he leapt up with a great cry, believing that Orcs were come again to torment him; and grappling with him in the darkness he seized Anglachel, and slew Beleg Cúthalion thinking him a foe. But as he stood, finding himself free, and ready to sell his life dearly against imagined foes, there came a great flash of lightning above them, and in its light he looked down on Beleg's face. Then Túrin stood stonestill and silent, staring on that dreadful death, knowing what he had done [...] Thus ended Beleg Strongbow, truest of friends, greatest in skill of all that harboured in the woods of Beleriand in the Elder Days, at the hand of him whom he most loved; and that grief was graven on the face of Túrin and never faded. 

— THE CHILDREN OF HÚRIN, CHAPTER IX: THE DEATH OF BELEG

Translated from Silmarillion 21 Of Túrin Turambar

.

...in the darkness he seized Anglachel, and slew Beleg Cúthalion thinking him a foe...Then Túrin stood stonestill and silent, staring on that dreadful death, knowing what he had done; and so terrible was his face, lit by the lightning that flickered all about them...Thus ended Beleg Strongbow, truest of friends, greatest in skill of all that harboured in the woods of Beleriand in the Elder Days, at the hand of him whom he most loved; and that grief was graven on the face of Túrin and never faded.

Today’s Narn thought is about this parallel:

Chapter 9: The Death of Beleg

But as he stood, finding himself free, and ready to sell his life dearly against imagined foes, there came a great flash of lightning above them, and in its light he looked down on Beleg's face. Then Túrin stood stonestill and silent, staring on that dreadful death, knowing what he had done; and so terrible was his face, lit by the lightning that flickered all about them, that Gwindor cowered down upon the ground and dared not raise his eyes.

Chapter 15: Niënor in Brethil

Now it chanced that some of the woodmen of Brethil came by in that hour from a foray against Orcs, hastening over the Crossings of Teiglin to a shelter that was near; and there came a great flash of lightning, so that the Haudh-en-Elleth was lit as with a white flame. Then Turambar who led the men started back and covered his eyes, and trembled; for it seemed that he saw the wraith of a slain maiden that lay on the grave of Finduilas.

Both scenes create chain horror effects with lightning and death as elements. The sight of dead Beleg’s face lit by lightning horrifies Túrin, whose terrible face lit by lightning horrifies Gwindor, who dares not look more at Túrin. The sight of terrified Niënor lying wraithlike on Finduilas’s grave lit by lighting horrifies Túrin, who dares not look more at Niënor.

Both scenes in a way epitomizes the chain tragedy effect of the story — one character’s misfortune and demise set off a sequence of actions and events that leads to another character’s misfortune and demise. The death of Beleg, through a direct encounter with Túrin, indirectly leads to Gwindor’s eventual fate. The death of Finduilas, through a direct encounter with Niënor, indirectly leads to Túrin’s eventual fate.

"...But as he stood, finding himself free, and ready to sell his life dearly against imagined foes, there came a great flash of lightning above them, and in its light he looked down on Beleg’s face. Then Túrin stood stonestill and silent, staring on that dreadful death, knowing what he had done; and so terrible was his face, lit by the lightning that flickered all about them, that Gwindor cowered down upon the ground and dared not raise his eyes. But now in the camp beneath the Orcs were roused, both by the storm and by Túrin’s cry, and discovered that Túrin was gone; but no search was made for him, for they were filled with terror by the thunder that came out of the West, believing that it was sent against them by the great Enemies beyond the Sea. Then a wind arose, and great rains fell, and torrents swept down from the heights of Taur-nu-Fuin; and though Gwindor cried out to Túrin, warning him of their utmost peril, he made no answer, but sat unmoving and unweeping beside the body of Beleg."

The story of "The Children of Hurin" has made the strongest impression on me since my first encounter with the Silmarillion, it was the story that was the first thing I began to illustrate in Tolkien's Legendarium .

Perhaps by now I can already discern a pattern to what captures my attention and makes me create around the theme: - a terrible injustice in the face of which the characters show firmness and fortitude… As one of my artist friends said, "an impression is like a wound and you try to heal it with a painting". The Children of Hurin is along with Atrabeth another such non-healing wound, I hope to return to this subject in the near future)

The desperate can feel  the weight of your absence, sitting stonestill like curated gargoyles. I took a step towards the undecided Then confusion sets in the traffic, my father mercilessly cut down the vase in the good days.  He kept the ashtray. problem or suspicion? my time-worn shoulders, let them stay, if they had thought she was going to be happy in our desolate land, Where fall the way.
