[Galadriel55]

Urwen, this is about Lalaith, not Celegorm's love interest.

They suffered? Bah! Morwen was the only one who stopped pretending at that point! But Hurin thought a great deal of what's "proper", that's why he tried to make a song. Why couldn't he make it? Didn't have enough words? But he knew that music can express what words can. So why did he throw away his harp? Because his "lament" turned to a song of celebration way too many times.

And why did he curse Morgoth? For giving him such a daughter, not for taking her away. He didn't do this before, because he was afraid Lalaith would find out and play an extra trick on him.
