It's interesting to see that the Elves may have "theories" about their ending, but no knowledge. The word "analogy" is interesting too, as if perhaps all of these thoughts are really metaphors for something they cannot fully grasp. They don't seem to know whether our world will become the Paradise it should have been, or whether there will be a new Paradise (and since this is "analogy", perhaps whatever they sense is in store is something more complex and difficult to grasp than either of these ideas). But it seems that they do hope for a Paradise at the end of days.
They went in, and Sam shut the door.
But even as he did so, he heard suddenly,
deep and unstilled, the sigh and murmur of the Sea
upon the shores of Middle-earth.
