Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A sudden tree or standing stone
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! |

Well, I really hope you will like it. Of all people, you are one I would like to enjoy it, especially since you have a strong writing ability of your own.
I first read the thing in 1983, when my mom gave it to me for Christmas. Now I'm in love with the book, and get it out every six years or so and read it again. Some of the themes addressed confuse me too, but others are so dead on that it's stunning.

My birthday is today! Spent the day off goofing around. It was nice not to go in on a Monday -- only the second day I've had off since last October...so was nice.

That report on the Brame thingy had to be something of an early birthday present last week, I would think...
