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! |

OK, read up TO Chapter 17 during lunch. I hope I have some reading time tonight, but I dunno. With it being music night...I probably will have to wait, unless I stay up very late. But I'll have an hour or so to read after everyone leaves...we'll see what I can do with that.

The whole state of Vermont has about 600,000...which is a big increase from what it was when I was little, I believe. But it's less than many biggish cities.
I think I'll always prefer rural areas, but nice cities with character are wonderful places to visit!

Chapter 17 is where it gets really, really good, though Chapter 18 is my favorite.

Does Steve Fromholz' Texas Trilogy remind you of the UP?Well, yes and no (I haven't heard it, but I just went and looked up the lyrics.) The feeling of a once-thriving area slowly dying off is the same... but all the references to the heat just don't fit at all. ;)

I get bored and uncomfortable now, if I spend a long time in a rural area. The last time we spent a while in the U.P. was in 1999, when we arrived before Christmas and didn't leave until after New Year's (spent over 2 weeks up there). By the time that stay was over I was really sick and tired of the place... couldn't wait to get back to Austin.
So, my feeling is just the opposite of yours... I like to visit rural areas, but I wouldn't want to live in one. ;)

It's not a race! I'm gonna read 'em as I have time. And then eventually watch the movies. I saw the first one when it came out, but hadn't read the books. I'd like to see it again. And I've never seen the second or third.

I get bored and uncomfortable now, if I spend a long time in a rural area. That's the way my brother is - the next in age after me. He lives in San Francisco, of all places, and loves it there. All the things that would spook me, he finds entertaining...and he loves all the bookstores and restaurants and different cultural areas. He gets restless if he's here for long.
But the other brother who moved out there not long ago is really homesick. He loves activity...but he always seemed to FIND activity here. He's hoping to move back after he's saved up some money.

Read 'em as you have time. Suuure. By this time tomorrow I'm betting you're searching for a copy of book 4.
