I am surprised to see that no one has mentioned the end of The Silmarillion. Of course, the whole book is great, but the last sentences are nothing but wonderful. If I had to choose just one moment, then it would be that one.
"In the twilight of the autumn it sailed out of Mithlond, until the seas of the Bent World fell away beneath it, and the winds of the round sky troubled it no more, and borne upon the high airs above the mists of the world it passed into the Ancient West, and an end was come for the Eldar of story and of song."
