I was re-reading the Lays of Beleriand as one does, and
No gem, nor maid, nor Silmaril
shall ever long in thy grasp lie!
We curse thee under cloud and sky,
we curse thee from rising unto sleep!
Canto X - Lays of Beleriand
the likelihood of this being an Actual Curse? (and if it is, that brings up more questions such as can elves even Do That) or is it just C&C saying something that happens end up being true later?
I mean, I’m all for the various interpretations/explanations as to what the Silmaril did to Beren and Luthien, I just think this is interesting.
