Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Still round the corner we may meet...
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! |

Or you have to read really boring fiction. I mean, Hemingway may or may not be a great author, but I find his stuff boring and boring and boring....

It fits--and notice how Celeborn stays behind the scenes and lets everyone else do all the dirty work.
To: Wneighbor
Fans are throwing debris on the track. They're not too happy over on the NASCAR thread.
Time to do some dishes.

I like studying Hemingway's writing style, which I find useful to emulate; but not his actual stories, if that makes sense. In other words I don't like his subject matter but I think his style works well with more interesting subject matter.
To: Overtaxed
..kinda like "The Chin" from the Genovese family.

Maybe that means there was someone smarter pulling the strings and he was just a front man himself. What a tangled web we weave in the forests of Mirkwood. . .Incidentally, notice that when Mirkwood was under Thranduil's command, Dol Guldur became Sauron's secret command center. Elvish covert op?
To: Fedora
Hemingway's style is most of what turns me off. I hate his choppy sentence structure. He always seemed to me to have this attitude of "I am a Great Writer" behind his composition.
All right, so his subject matter is boring too. At least, all the Hemingway I've read has been dreadful.

The choppy sentence structure can be overdone and I wouldn't use it exclusively for a whole book, but it can come in handy in description and dialogue. Stephen King uses a modification of it that works well; but he comines it with some other stuff rather than using it exclusively.
To: Overtaxed
They're practically related--in fact they are related! I bet there never really were any Elf-Orc wars--they just faked it while secretly combining forces to get the Dwarves' treasure. It's all about mithral!
To: Fedora
I can see that it could work, modified. I just have a innate loathing of so called 'great' writers. Not all great writers; I'm very fond of most of them, but especially in the 20th century, critics were too eager to praise, say, Hemingway, while dissing Tolkien...

They're not too happy over on the NASCAR thread. Or on the Hobbit Hole thread. Out to do something outside now.

Yeah....trying to cheat the Dwarves....
That being said....what's the link between the elves and Orthanc? Saruman and Celeborn plant the Balrog in Moria to drive the Dwarves out and plunder the mithril?
