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! |

Hmmmmm. That sounds good (was just seconded by LSA). Looks like we'll have to give it a try.
To: RosieCotton
Man, I've gotten to talk anime on two different threads today! Cool!

I'm kinda shocked that so many just watch dubs. That's just...wrong.
It's kinda like watching / listening to opera in a language other than the one it was originally written in. In very rare cases, it works...but most of the time it's ridiculous at best and all but unbearable at worst.

I guess that makes me a total snob.

Sam, it's called an arrow rest or shelf. Not necessary but convenient. Can be made of wood then covered with leather or built up of leather.
The 'bracer' or arm guard protects the inner arm from the string hitting it. It will flat sting and leave a nice purple and yellow welt when it does. I don't shoot with out one. Apparently you haven't needed it, but there may come a time. :-)
To: RosieCotton
We is snobs, all right!
I have worked very hard to ensure every convert I make knows the right way to watch anime. And fortunately, our anime club is run by snobs, so I don't have to suffer through dubs there either.
And Japanese is such a pretty language to listen to, too!

I also grew up watching opera videos and certain foreign films...so I was brought up a snob. Heh...

Yup, yup... now if only the imported movies could be shown with subtitles in the theater. I wanted to see Spirited Away in the theater but I knew I'd hate the dubbing.
We show "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger" with subtitles! Why not Miyazaki films?

Because for the most part, anything animated is thought of as being for little kids...too young to read. Unfortunate...but I'm guessing that's the main reason.

I've got some of the cornbread as weell.
To: JenB
No kidding. The gore in that was almost a bit much for me...and the chimeras freaked me out.
But you know they'd try and edit it with that in mind!

...and a biscotti
To: RosieCotton
Eeep. Editing out the blood and death and horror. And of course all the emotional power and story along with it.
They did something like that to "Rurouni Kenshin". Went to absurd lengths like digitally editing out cigarrettes, and trying to pretend that sake is tea. (So Japanese folks get drunk on tea, eh? Hmmm...)

Well, I guess the sandwich is now a foregone conclusion. Thanks.

Speaking of which, did you notice that in the Harry Potter films they edit out any references to alcohol? And they don't allow the kids to go into the pub - as if there's anything wrong with a nice pub! During the day, especially! That struck me as a bit silly.

Hmm, I hadn't noticed that! Bah. And the English are usually more sensible about alcohol than we are, anyway.
