The saddest parts for me were at the Grey Havens when Frodo explain why he cannot stay in the Shire and when Sam believe Frodo to be dead ("Don't leave me here alone! It's your Sam calling! Don't go where I can't follow!') which have been mentioned. Another part that always makes me sad is Quickbeam's lament for the lost rowan trees. And then Sam's song 'I will not say the Day is done, nor bid the Stars farewell,' causes me to smile behind tears. Tolkien could write so beautifully, so many parts of LotR touch our hearts and lives! [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
