That being, the diminishing of the world, of a race, of an age, can be compared with the diminishing of a single human life.

We get weaker physically, we stop hoping so much and start looking back much more. We often become more melancholy.

That's depressing, Eomer.

(Though true.)
And I have nothing else to say.
Except that the end of the World may be closer than you think.
