![]() The whole dilemma stems from the fact that in the Silmarillion, Melkor "cursed" Húrin, Morwen and their descendants. Thus he 'designs' the future of those whom he hates, and so he says to Húrin: 'Upon all whom you love my thought shall weigh as a cloud of Doom, and it shall bring them down into darkness and despair.'įree Will and Predestination of a Family "Cursed" by Morgoth: Morgoth is not 'invoking' evil or calamity on Húrin and his children, he is not 'calling on' a higher power to be the agent: for he, 'Master of the fates of Arda' as he named himself to Húrin, intends to bring about the ruin of his enemy by the force of his own gigantic will. ![]() Christopher Tolkien says in the introduction (in the book - The Children of Húrin) that Melkor's curse is more than an invocation of Evil or Calamity on Húrin and his family:īut the tragedy of his life is by no means understood solely in the portrayal of character, for he was condemned to live trapped in a malediction of huge and mysterious power, the curse of hatred set by Morgoth upon Húrin and Morwen and their children, because Húrin defied him, and refused his will.(.) The curse of such a being, who can claim that 'the shadow of my purpose lies upon Arda, and all that is in it bends slowly and surely to my will', is unlike the curses or imprecations of beings of far less power. ![]()

And so the new book of Roversi’s images of Dior’s haute couture, published by Rizzoli is a welcome gift. ![]() What I am trying to say is that any time a Roversi book comes out, it’s an event. This past January, during my visit to a Roversi exhibit at 10 Corso Como in Milan, I spent a significant amount of time in nail-biting anxiety in front of a table strewn with Roversi’s books, some rare ones, weighing the heft of my wallet and the capacity of my luggage. A source of constant consternation for me has always been the lack of books about Roversi’s work. This Italian – and according to Roversi himself, he is very Italian in the art historical sense – has produced a stunning number of stunning photos in publications ranging from Vogue Italia to Another. ![]() The painterly quality with which Roversi imbues his soft-focus photos takes them out of our age and puts them in one not so much defined in historical terms, but in terms of literary fiction, of worlds made up by the sheer force of human imagination. ![]() Paolo Roversi’s dreamy images have sent this reviewer’s heart aflutter for many a year, so if this review is biased, don’t shoot the messenger. ![]() |
