I don't know why I only just noticed this; by all means it probably has been mentioned elsewhere, but I'm quite amazed. Gilraen's last words to Aragorn ('I gave Hope to the Dunedain, I have kept no hope for myself') mirrors, in a way, the fact that Miriel died after giving birth to Feanor because she had passed so much of her spirit to him.
