The Hobbit Hole XVIII - Though we pass them by today...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 12/20/2004 9:01:36 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Though we pass them by today...

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!

'Evening!

I've finished The Hobbit already. I wasn't the only one reading Hobbit on the flight from Atlanta. :)

hehehe... I'm not actually sure what will happen with it next year, but I expect it will consume more than its rightful share of time.

Or maybe it'll be banned as violating the Geneva Convention.

Evening OT, Corin: Back from Gypsygirl's constitutional. Seems Gypsy picked up an admirer, a young Weimeriemer (sp?). Young dog, new collar no tags no id. sigh. Well, Gypsy was not amused, one growl and bark, and the youngster skedadled.

btw, we got dafodills poking their heads up. Not our usual December for sure.

We owe it all to Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle...

Can't be certain for A.C. Doyle, but I'm pretty sure the butler never did it in the Agatha Christie novels...

"We owe it all to Agatha Christie and Arthur Conan Doyle..." is actually part of the lyrics from the themesong to "Something's Afoot."

It's a musical spoof on movies such as "And Then There Were None (Ten Little Indians)"

One of the song's says "Something's afoot...and the butler didn't do it." (the butler is the first to die)

Urgh...don't mention Agatha Christie for awhile. I just finished Endless Night and I'm mad at her again.

As Dad said, she CHEATS! It's not fair! She'll tell a WHOLE STORY keeping back some detail that you couldn't possibly guess, and then in the last chapter you suddenly discover, for example, that the narrator is a homicidal maniac. I don't like mysteries I can't guess because of a trick.

Grrrr...

Heh, yes, well, she doesn't do that all the time. And half the time I guess the twist anyway. Dunno how. She's made me rightfully suspicious of everyone and everything.
