A mile, maybe, from Parth Galen in a little glade not far from the lake Aragorn found Boromir. He was sitting with his back to a great tree, as if he was resting. But Aragorn saw that he was pierced with many black-feathered arrows; his sword was still in his hand, but it was broken near the hilt; his horn cloven in two was at his side. Many Orcs lay slain, piled all around him and at his feet.

Aragorn knelt beside him. Boromir opened his eyes and strove to speak. At last slow words came. 'I tried to take the Ring from Frodo,' he said. 'I am sorry. I have paid.' His glance strayed to his fallen enemies; twenty at least lay there. 'They are gone: the Halfling: the Orcs have taken them. I think they are not dead. Orcs bound them.' He paused and his eyes closed wearily. After a moment he spoke again.

'Farewell, Aragorn! Go To Minas Tirith and save my people! I have failed.'

'No!' said Aragorn, taking his hand and kissing his brow. 'You have conquered. Few have gained such a victory. Be at peace! Minas Tirith shall not fall!'

Boromir smiled.

'Which way did they go? Was Frodo there?' said Aragorn.

But Boromir did not speak again.

I wasn't disappointed in this part of the book, but wasn't very impressed. Boromir's death was something I found much more emotional in the movies. Nonetheless, it's a worthwhile end to Boromir's character, even though it's at the beginning of TTT.

Boromir was an interesting character. I like how he seems to redeem himself by trying to save the hobbits.

*joins in crying. Hands out umbrellas for the rest of the people* I think that scene is so sad... even in the book, when I first read it I started weeping like mad. Behind Tolkien's words, there is something really emotional, you just gotta see it
