The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

A new road or a secret gate...

New verse:

Upon the hearth the fire is red,
Beneath the roof there is a bed;
But not yet weary are our feet,
Still round the corner we may meet
A sudden tree or standing stone
That none have seen but we alone.
Tree and flower and leaf and grass,
Let them pass! Let them pass!
Hill and water under sky,
Pass them by! Pass them by!

Still round the corner there may wait
A new road or a secret gate,
And though we pass them by today,
Tomorrow we may come this way
And take the hidden paths that run
Towards the Moon or to the Sun.
Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe,
Let them go! Let them go!
Sand and stone and pool and dell,
Fare you well! Fare you well!

Home is behind, the world ahead,
And there are many paths to tread
Through shadows to the edge of night,
Until the stars are all alight.
Then world behind and home ahead,
We’ll wander back to home and bed.
Mist and twilight, cloud and shade,
Away shall fade! Away shall fade!
Fire and lamp, and meat and bread,
And then to bed! And then to bed!

I'm doing alllllll kinda upgrades today. Boring.

And I left my very-precious-notebook-with-my-new-story-outline-init out at the house. If the bothers read it, they're dead meat.

I also forgot to bring ANY fountain pens today. I feel really lost without 'em.

Mornin!! 9 degrees here. Brrrr! We have at least 4 inches on the ground and it's just now beginning to slow down. I can see that the sun is shining behind the clouds, so they've thinned considerably in the last hour or so. The snow wasn't this heavy earlier this morning; there was only about 1/2" on the ground when I went to bed at 3. SSQ left for work about 8, and there wasn't much then, either. I have no idea if the other kids went to school. Joseph got out last Friday for vacation, so I didn't have to get up early to take him.

People really shouldn't reveal weaknesses here, should they? ;-)

Or at least no shame about them that we can capitalize on.

Exactly. Shame is a weakness.

I have no shame.

Parting is such sweet sorrow...or something like that.

'Twas a good thread!

I also enjoyed the added scene of the drinking game between Legolas and Gimli. After a couple dozen beers, Gimli passes out, and Legolas says, "it must be taking effect, I feel a bit of tingling in my fingers".

You sure you ain't part elf, g'and? :)
