When did you cry?

I also tear up at that scene, I think it's the first time that we see Gandalf not quite grasphing some of the horrors of being a human. There is one shot that make me think this during the scene, it's like Gandalf doesn't quite know what to say.

However he sort of clears it up when he does his 'far green country' speach. That also tears me up.
