*Smiling one of those almost sad smiles* I'm glad you guys feel the same about that scene as I do... like I said above, it seems to fit in with Tolkien's theme that even when fading beautiful things still possesss dignity and beauty. I guess that goes along with Iarwain's description of the Noldor, they were diminished in a way, in MiddleEarth, but they were still wise and lovely.
