Death Quotes - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

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.

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

Quote:

So you forsake your father and his kin, ill-gotten son! Here you shall fail of all your hopes, and here may you yet die the same death as I.

Eöl to Maeglin just before his (Eöl's, that is) execution in Gondolin.
