Ugolino and His Sons

The subject of this intensely Romantic work is derived from canto XXXIII of Dante's Inferno, which describes how the Pisan traitor Count Ugolino della Gherardesca, his sons, and his grandsons were imprisoned in 1288 and died of starvation. Carpeaux's visionary statue, executed in 1865–67, reflects the artist's passionate reverence for Michelangelo, specifically for The Last Judgment (1536–41) in the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican, Rome, as well as his own painstaking concern with anatomical realism.

Two original characters of mine: Ugolino, a diminutive man who likes wearing onesies, and Tetania, his furniture who follows his every command.

just seen someone criticize the divine comedy by saying that it's not relatable which is of course incommensurably stupid because relatability should never be the only criterion through which one can judge the validity and quality of a piece of work &c but also. just because you tedious unimaginative losers have never been on a journey to hell and purgatory with your long dead favorite writer doesn't mean others haven't. happened to me

#'it's not relatable' well you're about to relate to count ugolino's sons because i'm biting your head off

Count Ugolino

Ugolino and his sons (detail), Jean Baptiste Carpeaux, 1857-1860.

The work illustrates with remarkable realism the tragic story of Count Ugolino Della Gherardesca, a leader and politician from Pisa, imprisoned as punishment in a tower together with his children. The pitiless and perhaps exaggerated legend narrates that in the end, overcome by the pangs of hunger, it fed on his offspring, first of the dead ones, then perhaps also of those still alive.

Inferno XXIII

As soon as a thin ray had made its way into that sorry prison, I saw, reflected in four faces, my own gaze, out of my grief, I bit at both my hands.

what absolutely floors me is the way "Unknown (Nth)" is the song for Treachery, and yet is more about betraying ourselves rather than being betrayed. hozier says that, when the break-up happened, it felt as though his lover was chewing on his heart while it still beats, but he can only blame himself because entering a relationship is acknowledging the chance it may fail and still going through with it. AND THEN HE SAYS "i'd walk so far just to take the injury of finally knowing you" - meaning he would do it all again with the knowledge of failure because isn't that what he risked in the first place anyway? ,,,"Unknown (Nth)", the weapon that you are-

#if u guys want i will go full dante mode on how this relates to the most DEVASTATING part of inferno #btw ik i posted the article on this ages ago but im back to talk on it again #and how unknown links to eat your young because of it #the unknown > count ugolino > eat your young pipeline goes crazy #if his ( apparent ) new music in march is about inferno... #u guys will have to suffer so much ramblings from me im sorry in advance #hozier's inferno #unreal unearth #unknown/nth #lyric analysis #hozier
