But even as hope died in Sam, or seemed to die, it was turned to a new strenght. Sam's plain hobbit-face grew stern, almost grim, as the will hardened in him, and he felt through all his limbs a thrill, as if he was turning into some creature of stone and steel that neigher despair nor weariness nor endless barren miles could subdue.

One of my favorite passages is this one, when Sam is trying to judge the distance to Mt. Doom and realizes how impossible it will be... and then becomes determined to get there.

Thanks.

A moment of triumph followed by great fear.

I think i found the situation in The Hobbit (sorry , but that was the nearest book I could find around) :
"The Dwarfs were still passing around the grale hand to hand , and still adoring the recovery of their treasure (I take that as a triumph of the recovery of the grale) , when sudenly from deep inside the mountain came a sound as if a sleeping vulcano had in mind to restart its destructive work . [..] Then the Dwarves forgot their joy and pride [..] and almost died from fright ."

Hope it works .

Go ahead, Ophelia. I was originally thinking of Sauron at the Downfall of Númenor, but that works well too.
