Death Quotes

Right, i made a search on this and I cant find anything exactly like it so hear it goes. Its simple really. One person will quote a line from just before, just after after or during a death scene in any of Tolkiens books (but it must have something to do with the death). Who ever answers correctly will be able to find the next quote.

Heres the first one:

Quote:
Yea, I will drink thy blood, that I may forget the blood of Beleg my master, and the blood of Brandir slain unjustly. I will slay thee swiftly.

Silmaril

Said by Gurthang, the black blade of Turin Turambar, when Turin asked if it would slay him quickly. Afterwards Turin threw himself onto the blade.
From: 'Of Turin Turambar', 'The Silmarillion'

Not sure how much information you need

It was at the death of Beleg, about Túrin just after he realized what he had done.

So are these quotes that someone said or just quotes from the books?

Indeed it is.

As far as I can tell from Phervasaion's introduction, they just have to come from a death or funeral scene from the books, is all. And so far we seem to really like the Silmarillion.

Must be because everybody dies in the Sil. Seriously, that was my first impression of the book - "everybody dies!" Anyway:

It's Saruman's "death" scene, in Return of the King 'The Scouring of the Shire'.

Quote:
To the dismay of those that stood by, about the body of Saruman a grey mist gathered, and rising slowly to a great height like smoke from a fire, as a pale shrouded figure it loomed over the hill.

The Elf-sheen passes

As if anyone should need a hint for that beautiful scene. It's Morwen Eledhwen to her husband Húrin.

Quote:
'You come at last,' she said. 'I have waited too long.'
'It was a dark road. I have come as I could,' he answered.
'But you are too late,' said Morwen. 'They are lost.'
'I know it,' he said. 'But you are not.'
But Morwen said: 'Almost. I am spent. I shall go with the sun. Now little time is left: if you know, tell me! How did she find him?'
But Húrin did not answer, and they sat beside the stone, and did not speak again; and when the sun went down Morwen sighed and clasped his hand, and was still; and Húrin knew that she had died.
