There are many...I especially like Tolkien's 'epic- like' poems written for great events like when the Rohirrim set off for Gondor or the lament for the battle of Pellenor. I think that's a characteristic of Tolkien to use short very descriptive sentences to awaken strong feelings.

One bit that comes to mind that is very Tolkien-esque in that speaks of hope and accepting your fate is what Aragorn says to Arwen in the appendix A:
"In sorrow we must go but not in despair. For we are not bound forever to the circles of the world and beyond them is more than memory."
There you go: a short clear line that expresses elegantly what takes others years to come to terms with and understand, if they ever do.
