it was the grey havens for me too. all of lotr was distilled for me in that one single paragraph of frodo telling sam "that it is so; when the land is in danger, one has to give it up, lose it, so that others may keep it." frodo's simple words describe what is arguably the greatest sacrifice in the entire trilogy. the rest of the fellowship (even boromir, in a sense) had come home to even greater glory--not so the one hurt the most!

it is the essence of pure sacrifice --THAT killed me!
