[Sam] "Don't the great tales never end?"
"No, they never end as tales," said Frodo. "But the people
in them come, and go when their part's ended. "

Rather positive in tone, in essence, rather like
Aragorn's dying comments to Arwen. Which makes all
the odder Arwen's depression over Aragorn's dying
(given the precedents of Luthien/Beren and Tuor/Idril).
She should have recalled her family history.
