The Hobbit Hole XIV - Hill and Water Under Sky
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 08/05/2004 5:47:31 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Hill and water under sky

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 didn't! But that's because I wasn't there (sigh).

Not sure if the others played it, although there was discussion about someone bringing a copy of the LOTR edition of Trivial Pursuit...

Wife and I started out buying a Christmas ornament each year on our wedding anniversary (we got married in November). We tried to use the traditional "gift" element (paper, cotton, etc.).

It got interesting when we got to leather...

Only thing I would've done different is kept the book.

Oh, I tried that. But they kept hounding me so I sent it back...at their expense.

I have the LotR Trivial Pursuit but I don't have anyone to play it with! I'd feel guilty playing it against non-Tolkien readers.

Hmmm--could add some rocks to the package next time--costs more to send that way. . . :)

Let me know where you find one!!

You want one? I can get them here. I think they're about 30-40 bucks.

Heh...I had some popcorn over "there" earlier today. But nothing really happened. I'd only give it one out of four stars on the heretic rating scale...

It appears Bill gets more name recognition than Morris! :) I guess 9 Lives needs to hire a new mascot!

I remember seeing that in a bookstore, years ago.
