It is to my mind an utterly Elvish ending.Full of the blend of joy and sadness that the books so often hint at. Never is it so perfectly revealed I think.
I recall reaching the shores of Mithlond and after sam returned home I was speechless, wishing the books to go on and on. And somewhat devastated realizing that I would never be the same, and how could I enter M-E more fully?
I spent quite a fwe years searching for answers to that.
