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!

I thank the lesser deities (whose nemesis, Phil the Prince of Insufficient Light, darns people to heck for brief periods in Dilbert) that I have thus far been spared that one.

And that's over.

Meanwhile, Larry the Cable Guy is holding forth on Comedy Central.

Did you know that both the Bakshi and the Rankin-Bass have a 3-star rating on Netflix?

I'd give 'em 3 stars! :) It's diluted Tolkien, but it's still Tolkien.

Bit of an over-bite, too!

We need to plan some more virtual views! Any suggestions?

3 stars...

1 for animation effort
1 for musical effort
1 for even attempting to tackle Tolkien

Yup.. Sounds fair enough.

Although, we should really take these chat-views to the chat room so as not to have to change Hobbit Holes again so soon!

bakshirocks fit nicely in the keywords!

Next Sunday is a given :) But other than that, I mean. Too bad that Stephen King show isn't on anymore. BTW I was rereading King's Cycle of the Werewolf the other night. You ever read that or seen the movie version (Silver Bullet)?

Kingdom Hospital is gone already? What did I miss?

I haven't read any Stephen King lately. I think the last book I attempted was From A Buick 8, and I was bored to tears halfway through, so I put it down and never picked it up again.

I did see Silver Bullet many years ago, but it isn't my favorite King flick. I actually like the Creepshow movies, but Pet Sematary wasn't too bad on the scary-scale. At least back then. :-)

I missed it as well.
The evil from Moviedor was avoided.
