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! |

as it should be... Yep. There's still a good bit of that out in this part of the country. I miss that.
I was out at the old place this afternoon. *snif* The house ain't liveable anymore, but it still feels more like home than anyplace else. Course, it didn't hurt that one of my old neighbors and I gave my .357 a little workout after lunch. :-)

It's the COLD I can't deal with! What COLD?? It doesn't get "cold" here. Sure, it might get a little chilly on some winter evenings... but that's what wood-fires are for. Sometimes in the winter I turn off the furnace just to have an excuse to build a fire in the fireplace.
What part of "roaring fires... red meat off the bone..." is so hard to understand?
There's gonna be a roaring fire on the beach on a particular Saturday afternoon here sometime soon. We'll have to do it pretty early in the evening, since high tide is at about 8pm and that'll end any beach fire bidness.
