The Hobbit Hole XVII - A new road or a secret gate...
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 11/03/2004 6:16:42 PM PST by HairOfTheDog

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!

In Japanese er... mythology I guess you would call it, people that ghost that have unfinished business stick around instead of going to the hear after (should that be thereafter?). People that commit suicide are even more lost souls than that. In many anime the tormented spirits of dead people that committed suicide come into play. I wonder if people that commit the 'honorable' sepeku ritual suicide escape that fate... but I digress. In FMwS the special punishment suiciders get for throwing away the life they had is to become shinigami (the angle of death for all you non anime watchers out there). It is a pretty chilling torment indeed since they have to go around taking the life from people that do NOT want to die. This gives them ample time to be tormented by the fact that they DID want to die. Also I think there is an aspect of that they died before they were destined to because they ended their life early. Naturally the higher powers don't like people screwing with destiny and stuff so they stick it to you for doing that. Itzumi is not REALLY evil but a lot of his evilishness is the lashing out of someone who hates them self or their life. He has been a shinigami a long time and is pretty messed up because of it. The fact that he really considered his job punishment is one final glimpse we get into his tortured soul. That scene was pretty powerful for me. We got that one last view of what goodness he had still in him before he went off to return to the job that was obviously eating him alive... er dead? whatever.

I think it's actually been almost a year since I last saw that movie. That's gotta be a record in my life, at least since we had a VCR.

But then again, it's probably a lot cheaper way to travel. Just gotta medicate her a little, and check in with odd-size baggage. :-)
