Ah! how lovely to find others who share my weirdness! i put off reading the end of ROTK for so long because i dreaded coming to the end of that magical journey with those characters who had become as dear as friends. I cried and cried when i got to the end of it, but the part that really started me crying was where the minstrel comes to tell the story of Frodo and Sam...the words that Tolkien used were so poignant and sweet that i just cracked...and for those of you who don't know what i'm talking about, here it is:

And he sang to them, now in the Elven-tongue, now in the speech of the West, until their hearts, wounded with sweet words, overflowed, and their joy was like swords, and they passed in thought out to regions where pain and delight flow together and tears are the very wine of blessedness.
