The Hobbit Hole X - That none have seen but we alone.

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!

I'll look for those short story collections. This book I have also mentions one called "Four for Tomorrow" which it says was retitled "A Rose for Ecclesiastes". Another book I have recommends one of his called "Dream Master". How are either of those?

I think I saw you over there--thought you'd recognize me but I guess our Lurker Cloaks work well, heh-heh :) Anti-UN comment bump! :)

Just tuned into Andromeda Strain on AMC--classic SF movie which to me is entertaining in an MST3K kind of way. The computer graphics are, shall we say, pre-Windows :)

LOL!
That was such a horrible movie, and the screen symbol they used for the virus leaving the building reminded me of one of the 60's snot splot mmusic video effects.
That movie should have had the MST3K treatment, but it somehow slipped past them.

Good evening! Didn't realize they were going to replay them again--I should've taped it.

Parents are out. Both sisters and oldest brother and I are having an anime-fest. We're seeing how much Legend of Kyoto we can watch... brother is slightly confused, having seen only three episodes of Kenshin before...

LOL! It was indeed a dreadful movie. The pacing was incredibly drawn out. It's fun to watch/mock as a period piece, though--fits the tone of a lot of early 70s SF movie with a bleakly dystopian feel to it. Reminds me of Silent Running and The Omega Man.

So that's what you do when your parents are out! :) You're like the Cat in the Hat :)

Yes, I can see how jumping in at Legend of Kyoto would be confusing after only three episodes! Hopefully it's got enough cool action your brother will stil like it, though. What other anime have they watched already?

Did you catch the eulogies earlier? That was a real tearjerker.

I did... I stayed and watched it and went late to work this morning. I thought it was just beautifully done. All of it.

Well, youngest sister has watched almost everything I have. Other sister has seen a lot of Ranma, most of Season 1 Kenshin, and some Fruits Basket.

It was beautifully done. I hope they make a memorial tape or something later.

Is this your brother's first time watching anime, then? BTW you're a cool older sister--not too many older sisters give their brothers anime to watch! :)

Ouch. Recommend three car-bombs, and smack your other knee against a door jamb. That way the first one won't seem like it hurts so much. :-)

The most memorable part I think for me will be Patty's story about the goldfish funeral.
