Mae govannen!

Nimiriel, I completely agree with what you wrote ! The end at the Grey Havens is so sad and yet it is also hopeful.
Frodo is so changed and hurt he wouldn`t be able to enjoy a normal life in the shire anymore. I also believe that the West always held a draw for him . (See also the thread "Frodo`s sacrifice")

All the same, when I read the the farewell scene, it leaves me with an aching in my heart and a peculiar longing. For days I walk around musing and every now and then picking up the books and reading favourite parts over and over again.

Suilad, Guinevere
