The Hobbit Hole XIII - Let them pass! Let them pass!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 07/13/2004 9:49:23 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)

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!

Yep! Sent a reply via email about a half hour ago. Check your regular email and let me know if you still didn't get it.

I think Lum's done by the same manga-ka as Ranma, Takahashi Rumiko. I don't like her other series that I've seen, her style's too simple to be art, and the other storylines can't carry themselves the way Ranma does.

Put another way, even if the guy who did Kenshin, Watsuki Nobuhiro, did a really lame series, his art would make it worth at least reading.

Back from the doc... got more antibiotics. I either have an infection, or just bad wax buildup, but she couldn't check because there's some indication I may have a burst blood vessel in there.

One hour until the dentist. What a Monday.

Lum is done by someone named Rumiko Takahashi. There's sort of a comparison in passing to Ranma here:

Amused In Review

I hope the antibiotics help. If it turns out you've got a burst blood vessel what did she say happens then?

Yeah, that's the woman. (Takahashi's her family name, remember Japanese names are backwards?). She's done "Ranma", "Maison Ikkou", and "Inu-Yasha", as well as some other stuff I think. Sigh... all those are available here, and are mostly boring, but Watsuki's new series, I can't even find a scanlation for...

The doctor says if it's not cleared up in a week, go see someone - I told her I was moving and she said find someone anyway. But that the antibiotics should kick in quickly, so if it's still painful Thursday they ought to be able to fit me in before I go.

I figured it was backwards--I was seeing it reversed on some sites--I just wasn't sure which one was the backwards version and which was the forwards! :) Chinese names can be like that, too. Like for instance, one style I've studied was taught by a teacher named Yip Man, so his sons are named Yip Chun and Yip Ching. Gets confusing sometimes!

I hope the antibiotic clears it up. Is it feeling better than the past couple days? Hmmm, maybe you can get the dentist to give your ear some of that painkiller they use for your teeth :)

Hey, I just realized, that backwards-naming convention is used by the Sith Lords: Darth Sidious, Darth Vader, etc.

Waitaminute, you mean the writer for Kenshin has a new series?!!! I gotta find that! :)

I thought "Darth" was a title. Like "Sir".

I think most Asian names are reversed. Not Indian, I suppose... at least I can generally tell what country a name is from. And which one's the personal name, for Japanese names, at least...

Oh, yeah, "Boku Renkin" (Armored Alchemist). This was very confusing when I first heard about Fullmetal Alchemist. Throw in the currently popular in the US series "Full Metal Panic" and you've got loads of confusion for a poor fangirl...

But like I said, I can't find even a scanlation. Or what it's about, or anything.

That can't make searching any easier! Sounds like alchemy is popular in anime.

Looks like you're right about Darth being a title:

Obelisk

Darth--Title taken by Sith Lords. Early Sith Lords did not carry this title as it had not been created yet, but then later Lords took the title as they saw fit. From Darth Bane onward, all Sith Lords took the title Darth. This is also the time when the tradition of one master one apprentice began.

You killed it...

Back from the dentist and unable to speak, eat, drink or anything else. On the plus side, it's also numbed my ear.
