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! |

I did enjoy at least some of Shrek, I admit. I hadn't realized Shrek 2 was coming quite so soon!

Too much "toilet" humor for grown-ups and too many innuendos for kids, so it doesn't really cater to either crowd.
This is a complete train wreck of a movie!!!!!!
The Grinch as played by Jim Carrey was much closer to the written character than Mike is to The Cat, and that's saying a lot considering the liberties taken with the Grinch film!

Yeah...Jim Carrey is another I don't care for. I made it through about fifteen minutes of The Grinch before I couldn't take it any more.
I like the cartoon, though!

Bear and Rose got to listen to all us parent's nightmares, the stories of her gettin' drunk 2 times in Germany.Heh... her story sort of reminded me of stories my high school buddies used to tell. They turned out OK, despite the drunken revelries they endured!
To: Bear_in_RoseBear

I avoided The Grinch film for the same reason. Man, I wish they wouldn't mess with classics like that! If they're going to do them, do it right!

Cartoon Grinch was great :) I watched that for years before realizing it was Boris Karloff doing the voice of the Grinch--thought that was pretty cool when I found that out.

I like your tagline, Rosie. Is it new?
Chesterson has some great aphorism, doesn't he? He's up there with CS Lewis for witty ways to say deepish things, in my books. Haven't read much of him other than his "Father Brown" stories, though.

Howdy! I'd like to see that re-release of Godzilla, but I can't find any theaters in Austin that are playing it, unfortunately.
To: Ramius
Sorry to hear you got a worm! Good luck catching up. Hmmm, guess I'd better download my antivirus updates here. . .

I was tired of the old one and looking for a new quote...wasn't necessarily looking for another Chesterton quote, but I liked that one! Seems especially fitting with the whole gay marriage deal going on in MA.
