tolkienianos:   ‘Otherwise it is with us: dying we die, and we go out to no return. Death is an uttermost end, a loss irremediable. And it is abominable; for it is also a wrong that is done to us.’   ‘That difference I perceive,’ said Finrod. ‘You would say there are two deaths: the one is a harm and a loss but not an end, the other is an end without redress; and the Quendi suffer only the first?’   ‘Yes, but there is another difference also,’ said Andreth. ‘One is but a wound in the chances of the world, which the brave, or the strong, or the fortunate, may hope to avoid. The other is death ineluctable; death the hunter who cannot in the end be escaped. Be a Man strong, or swift, or bold; be he wise or a fool; be he evil, or be he in all the deeds of his days just and merciful, let him love the world or loathe it, he must die and must leave it - and become carrion that men are fain to hide or to burn.’ “Athrabeth Finrod ah Andreth” - Morgoth’s Ring - HoME - J.R.R.
