Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Tree and flower and leaf and grass
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! |

Mornin' all. I'm off to try again to get my lab ready for the kids class next week. Will check in from work if things go smoothly.

Is he the one on the right?
Not bad.
I wonder if that's playing here? Swashbuckling might be a good way to pass an evening this weekend...

We really enjoyed Second Hand Lions, too. I've rarely seen a Robert Duvall movie I DIDN'T like, which is one of the reasons we decided we had to see it, though we didn't have high hopes. But it's a really fun movie! The interaction between Michael Caine and Robert Duvall is just superb.

Hey, LF, I just finished reading the Jack Whyte series. Apparently the next book comes out in the fall.
Had some trouble with what I felt was too much sex in the early volumes, and then the Pelagian heresy thing, but otherwise, very nice. It, and Rosemary Sutcliff's "Sword at Sunset" are closest to being "right", for me, although there are bits of Stephen Lawhead's work which I like a lot. His writing quality isn't the best, though.

The one on the right was Arthur. Gawaine and Tristram were also very nice to look at! And Galahad was manly for the first time I've ever seen.
I forgot to say last night that my idea of a chick flick is "Lord of the Rings": lots of pretty things to look at... ;-p

Good morning!
Rainy and muggy today. Decided to wear shorts. Doesn't seem to be any middle ground here at work...either we're too hot or we're too cold, and for the last few days, it's been hot.
Had a fairly fun evening. We ended up going bowling...I hadn't bowled in years. It's something I'm horrible at, but still like to do...sometimes wish I could be on a (not very serious) league. Heck, if they do handicaps...I could still help a team, big time! ;-) I broke seventy both times, which for me isn't bad at all. Heh...did I mention I'm horrible at bowling?

That's why I liked "Reign of Fire", too. Not the greatest story in the world...but yum!
Who's on the left, then? Is that Lancelot? He's not in the greatest position to really see his face.
May have to do further research...

Lancelot, yes, who is Ioan Griffud from "Horatio Hornblower", if you've ever seen any of these. A little too pretty for me, thanks. The guy who played Arthur had a really lovely voice, too, and lots of angst.
However, Gwenhyvar is played by Kiera Knightly, who's from "Pirates of the Caribean", and wasn't very believable. And, er, someone should have given her a better war outift, I spent too much time wincing in sympathy.

Alkhin, are you have trouble with livejournal, by any chance? I looked at my friends list this morning and couldn't read it, the formatting had gone weird and the text was all white.

I haven't seen Horatio Hornblower.
The Arthur guy has a nice voice, too? Hm...now I really gotta see it! You KNOW I'm a sucker for a nice voice or accent...
Which is why I liked "First Knight" a lot, in spite of Richard Gere's presence. Sean Connery...even as a fairly "mature" guy...mmmm...

My idea of a nice voice, anyway. It fits his face. Anyway like I said before, there are lots of nice faces to look at, even if, like me, you don't like Lancelot on principle.

I was referencing an episode of South Park. Ah. That s'plains it.
I don't watch South Park.

I'll take the omelet, thank you.
