Here at last, on the shores of the sea, comes the end of our Fellowship. His lines are slightly different in the movie: Go in peace! I will not say: do not weep for not all tears are an evil.” Gandalf says, in the book: “Well, here at last, dear friends, on the shores of the Sea comes the end of our fellowship in Middle-earth. He also says: “I am wounded, wounded it will never really heal.” This suggests that remaining in Middle-earth- living-is too difficult. It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them.” I tried to save the Shire, and it has been saved, but not for me.
