Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
A new road or a secret gate...
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! |

Heh...I'm pretty much in agreement with you there.
Who was it we used to annoy with Boromir bashing? Can't recall.

I prolly shoulda worked to add to my margin, but I was finding that story too boring.
So I went back and added a coupla hundred words to the other story. Dragons are more entertaining than furniture shopping.

Probably me. Poor, misunderstood Boromir and everybody's out to make him the bad guy.
To: ecurbh; HairOfTheDog; g'nad; Corin Stormhands
Thanks for the ping - excellent timing if I may add. The late night partying left the other hole with broken crockery and chipped plates. btw where are g'nad and corin anyway?
To: Alkhin

Real Men Love Bush.

I don't think he's intentionally evil.
Just dense.
And arrogant, too. He doesn't get it that just MAYBE, other people know more about the Ring and the Dark Lord than he does. Duh.

Somebody will say something a dwarf could get in trouble with... ;~D

OT: Heat requires coal, which is expensive and momentary whereas a coat and vest, once purchased and kept in reasonable repair, will last for years. :-)

Was that Carton? No, she was the Smeagol fan. Hmmm. SuziQ didn't like it when we talked about how much better Faramir is...
Mmm, Faramir.

That is the Victorious Warrior, displaying the tophies of battle and enjoying his rightful share of the spoils.
War doen't have to be all blood, toil tears and sweat :)

I thought Sean Bean did an EXCELLENT portrayal of Boromir...fleshed him out far better than in the book...in the book he struck me as just a plain old creep, but Bean brought forward some very plausible motivations for why Boromir acted the way he did. When you have grown up as the Golden Son of the highest leader in the land, and theres a good chance that you could save the day by advancing your position, things like an all powerful Ring start to look pretty good...only hubris prevents him from understanding the cost.

I really did like Boromir better in the movie than in the books...which I almost feel is heresy, but there it is!
He still looks at things only from a military standpoint, which considering his background is understandable...but yeesh, the guy didn't listen to ANYTHING anyone else said!
