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! |

Morning!
We keep ~not~ getting the rain that has been predicted every day. S'pose to rain... and it is clear as a bell.

My creativity for the day has been poured into the following. Please be kind.
I Want a New Hole
by
Hobbit Lewis and the News from Bree
I want a new hole
One that's not to deep
One that's built on an uphill slope
One that's easier to sweep
I want a new hole
One that's close to the Road
With the Green Dragon not too far
A comfy hobbit's abode
One with a big brass doorknob
On a round green door
One that makes me feel like
You should come over for...
Elevenses and more...

Thanks, Bear!--good analysis! The distinction between the pure/guilty heroes is especially interesting. I agree with your classification of Spider-Man and Captain Marvel as wish-fulfillment heroes, too.
I got invited to join a family trip to the zoo today, so I'll be out for a bit until late afternoon, probably. Will check back after that!--'til then have a good day, Hobbitses!
To: HairOfTheDog
I do. They can share the seed I put on the ground (actually on the tree stump). I want them to stay off of the hanging feeder.
Plus this would be quite entertaining for Nana and Abby Maria.
