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!

The class I took was incredible. Now, I really wish I had kept all the books we had to read. Thre were so many of them though, I only kept the ones that the bookstore wouldn't take back.

The course was at UTA, with Prof David Narrett. He specializes in Colonial and Revolutionary America.

Nopers, won't do that.
People are kinda stringy and tough.
(Or so I'm told.)
*cough*

In my family, that's roughly half my life expectancy.

That's.... weird; I'm positive it was only rated R. It was violent and there was language, but nothing else, and it wasn't that bad... I don't think...

I figured it was just for violence and language. I'm stumped!

Like I said, I think I'll check out the other place one of these days. The one I checked last night is a few blocks from my house, but they annoy me. For one thing, I've been charged for being five or ten minutes late with a movie. And they have categories for movies that make NO sense. Last night I couldn't find it so I had to go to the counter and ask, and she kept repeating the "18 or older" phrase loudly until I felt like everyone was staring. *sigh* Hence I just said thanks and ran out.

That is annoying! And very nanny-ish.

Sigh... I hate late fees. I don't watch movies and it seems I always end up paying the late fees for the family anyway - I rent a couple films for the boys on Saturday and there were late fees, and so I had to pay them.
