The first sentence in the story… and really there’s nothing more that need be said about it.

And for something completely different:

“His soul swooned slowly as he heard the snow falling faintly through the universe and faintly falling, like the descent of their last end, upon all the living and the dead.” — James Joyce, “The Dead”

The last sentence in the story, and it gets me every time I read it.
