The Hobbit Hole IX - A sudden tree or standing stone
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^ ^

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!

Got me a list like that too, as long as keep amending 'estimated time of completion' date it seems to work out okay in the long run.

Nah, that's ok. Since the landlord put wire mesh over the top of the chimney we don't have a real problem with wild animals. I don't mind 'em, as long as they stay outside.

I wasn't judging! I'd rather keep company with a dwarf than a gnome any say. But you can keep your nasty beer.

Oh, dear God.

There is no hope, really. Just nod and smile every now and then. Laugh when she laughs. It's the only way to know for sure when it is appropriate.

Interesting story! Do you happen to know who funded the private flight?--I didn't see in the excerpt and I couldn't get into the linked article.

The company behind it is Burt Rutan's Scaled Composites.

I finally gave myself permission to take of the "estimated completion" dates and just work towards the goal.
