The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^
Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
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've got two loads on the line myself.
My foot looks good...now if I could just remember to take my antibiotics.

Maybe we can even drag SSQ's brother George along, then we wouldn't have to find a Catholic Church cause he could celebrate Mass for us right there! He usually says Mass every day, so that would work well!I could live with that...that'd be nifty!

Hey Hair...
How do I get on this ping list? My wife and I have been Tolkienites for the past quarter-century. Just two nights ago I tried to put myself to sleep by reading Appendix A from The Return of the King.
It didn't work...it was too interesting.

To: Oberon
Well, we don't really have a ping list per se, we are now more of a group of friends who chit-chat than a Tolkien-oriented group any more. We go days without Tolkien talk nowadays. We used to have a pretty active ping list for LoTR movie news, but there isn't much of that left now.
But if you have a Tolkien conversation you'd like to start, this would be the place to do it! Welcome!
To: HairOfTheDog
Have there been any trivia threads?
It brings out the utter geek in me, but I remain addicted to LotR trivia.

Tolkien Trivia Tag
The rules of the game are as follows:
1. Somebody asks a LotR trivia question.
2. You provide the answer, and ask another question.
3. Repeat step 2 above with other peoples' questions.
I'll start, just because. The initial question will be an easy one, so as to get the ball rolling:
What LotR character was Elrond's mother-in-law and Arwen's grandma?
This ought to separate the geeks from the boys...

Ok, it's been a long time since we've had a chat view. How 'bout Friday (or Saturday) night? That gives us time to all pick out the movie and the time and all.

Galadriel. Very good. Name the 13 dwarves in "The Hobbit".
Without looking, they were: Fili, Kili, Nori, Ori, Dori, Bifur, Bofur, and Bombur the Fat, Oin and Gloin, Balin and Dwalin, and Thorin Oakenshield.
Now then: What did the elves call Saruman?

Hmmm... am having trouble on the exact spelling. Something like Curinir, "The Cunning Mind", I do believe.
Who had a dream telling him to come to Rivendell, and what, briefly, were the dream's contents?

LOL. I agree. In fact, I think I have fallen asleep while reading the Silmarillion.
But then, if you read the Silmarillion, you'll know the answer to THIS:
What eventually became of the Silmaril that Beren and Luthien took out of the crown of Morgoth?

Yes, it was "Curunir," which meant "The cunning mind."
Who had a dream telling him to come to Rivendell, and what, briefly, were the dream's contents?
Boromir had the dream, and it contained a poem that included mention of "Isildur's Bane" and the line "And the Halfling forth shall stand."
Back at you: What tree was the favorite of Quickbeam the Ent?

Hah - not entirely right. Faramir, the cool brother, had the dream over and over, but it wasn't until Boromir finally had it (or said he did) that Denethor agreed to send Boromir.
Quickbeam... er... dunno, he was hasty and he had a long poem about some trees he once knew.

Okay, I should have asked "What ULTIMATELY became of the Silmaril that Beren and Luthien took from the crown of Morgoth?"
