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!

It's really hard to program when you can't get the program to debug or compile, so unless I solve my java problem, I think I'll do something fun tomorrow. The question is, what?

Drudge has a link to this story:

It says they've ruled one of the Russian planes was terrorism - explosives found. They've not released info on the second plane.

Do the boys like the lessons on tape? Joseph is reading "The Iliad" for summer reading for his Western Civ. course before school starts, and I also have him watching a series of lectures on it from The Teaching Company. I watched with him; the lectures are dull, but the info is great!

Heh, Clare ALWAYS wears her socks inside out. The seams really bother her. I remember watching the movie Finding Forrester with her a couple of years ago, and we both burst out laughing when Forrester did the same thing with HIS socks!

I'm gonna get me a Beetle, a poodle and a pair of red chucks and that's all I want. :-)

..."And a little piece of land in the country to build a house and raise chickens, and that's all I want"... ;o)

I forgot to respond to you last night. Actually the monologue went quite well. I remember all my lines and said "writing is a pleasure to me" instead of "writing is precious to me." ;-)

She said it was good. Perhaps the best comment was that she said it was very polished. And she told the group that she was certain if I were to do it again, I'd do exactly the same thing.

That's a HUGH compliment (if I do say so rather vainly myself). For one thing, we're studying method acting. But it's also a particular pet peeve of hers when she is directing our larger productions. With an ensemble cast that large it is vital that people do the same actions ever time. But some folks just don't get that concept. So little side "bits" sometimes fall flat because people aren't where they're supposed to be.

So, I felt pretty good about it.

(and yes, I mailed the picture just like that)

That sounds so cool! I've always enjoyed "dramatic recitations" - my grand experience consists of six scenes from Shakespeare. I wish I had a chance to get involved the way you do.

Uh-huh.

I guess it really is Friday. Nobody's here yet. It's now a question of whether anyone will show up before my class at one, or if I'm on my lonesome today.

Oh right, those too. Aside from the dogs, they generally ride up front.

The bed is quilt...

Class in half an hour, and maybe I can go home early today! Be home by four instead of six, that'd be nice.

Drat! I forgot to get dinner thawing.

Yes and no...

The thread is "bed."

It is also "quilt."
