Lines in books that make your throat catch

Just been re-reading When We Were Very Young, and the lines in the last poem, Vespers, bring a tear to my eye every time:

Hush, hush, whisper who dares,
Christopher Robin is saying his prayers

I'm not sure why - I think it's the beauty of the innocence, the image of a lost world (the book is all nurses and stockings)?

In fact, just the title of the collection gives me a shiver.

This is the saddest book in the world. Pookie is a rabbit with wings, who is adopted by a girl called Belinda. One day Pookie gets captured by the circus, and there's a bit where he's flying around his cage saying "I'd really like to go home now..."
Waahhhh
