The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Pass them by! Pass them by!

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 the icon that displays next to the URL and the bookmark (it appears to not work in all browsers, though).

Here's what FR's looks like:

Awfully quiet here even for a Friday.

Someone needs to post a silly thread so I have something to do...

There is something very wrong with that picture....

I think part of what makes it funny is how seriesly they're all taking it.

And in liberal political circles, Peregrin Took asks "Gandalf, do you really think the DNC will make me swallow a cyanide capsule if Bush wins?"

*steaming from a recent cat fight with an immature slash-loving liberal Hobbitfancier*

Liberals who think that their fanship is the only true interpretation of LOTR really tick me off......

Hi all!

Yep...I'm pretty pleased.

Matthew has "journal entries" he has to make for spelling, too. He is given a topic and he writes about that topic. His topic this week was "Something that frightened him". He wrote:

"Dear Mom,
I was scared when I was at Grandma's house with a tornado outside. I was really in danger, but what was interesting was when the weatherman passed by
[storm chaser]. Next time, I'll buy special basement-digging equipment beforehand."

Today, Msdrby ran into the step-mom of the young Marine I gave my knife to sunday. Turns out Pvt Tom is a knife collector, and seriesly appreciated the HH knife. Imagine that.

Perhaps she can get an address for the Marine, so he can be included on future goodie shipments?

For all you folks who will be giving away Hobbit Hole knives, please try to get at least a name, if not more info, on who receives them. That way, we have names behind those knives.

I suspect we can. He and his family are members of our church. He has my e-mail already, so I'll ask if I hear from him.
