There are so many powerful moments in The Sil., LotR, and Narn-i-Hin Hurin that it would take me about an hour to type them all up. Just to give a few out of all of them:
"Oh twice beloved! A Turin Turambar, turun ambartanen!" (Nienor Niniel)
Turin's words to his sword, asking for a quick death
Hurin meeting Morwen at Turin's grave
Fingolfin's death
Finrod Felagund's death
"...and although Morgoth is gone, the seeds of lie that he planted will continue to grow and give crops..."
Frodo at the Ford of Bruinen
Gandalf/Balrog battle on the Bridge of Moria
Most of Lothlorien chapters, especially when it says that neither Fordo nor Aragorn will ever come there again, although they really want to
When Sam fights Shelob
When Frodo claims the Ring in Mt. Doom
When Eowin fights the Nazgul
The two sentences when Merry sees the face of Eowyn/Dernhelm, but thinks that it's just a regular solider, and sees no hope in that face
Gandalf's last words in Me - "I won't say don't cry, for not all tears are for evil"
WOW! That is a lot! And its not even a quarter of what I could list!
PS: I don't have my books on me, so I paraphrased.
