The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...That none have seen but we alone.

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, reading the words of the Soviet anthem, I don't think it fits now, does it? ;o)

I've often wondered; if you plant some stuff outside the fence around the garden, would the rabbits be satisfied and not try to get what's inside?

Could be--lots of times those characters were caricatures of somebody or other

Then, who was Animal? He was always a favorite of mine!

Tampa Bay beats Calgary in Game 7 of the finals to win the Stanley Cup...

Now that's a hoot! Just the fact that there's an ICE HOCKEY team in TAMPA BAY is strange enough!

...and I couldn't make it out. The sun is actually pretty tiny viewed alone...oh well, probably safer to see it on TV.

Morning!

Am still swamped.

And trying to get down to DC to pay my respects. Thursday is turning out to be very tight- have a big briefing to give and there's no way out of it. :(

Did they keep the same one when the USSR came apart?

No. The first one after the break-up (Korea maybe?) they came as the United Russian States (or something like that). Played some song that newscasters said just didn't mean anything to the athletes.

I got a letter today from my graduate school. They've awarded me another fellowship.

That's wonderful! Congratulations!

They have the book here at the library, so I should be all set! I can at least read it and see whether it sounds feasible.

But thank you for your offer! I appreciate it.

I started to offer her my copy, but realized I don't know where it is! It's in a box somewhere, I've run across it from time to time. ;o)
