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!

But maintaining a mystery without being tiresome about it is tough! You're better at that than I.

Want more? I have six chapters now. Only thing is...one is kinda PG-13 for language. I'm not sure if I can live with that. I'm thinking about taking out the few words I put in, though how to do it without changing the feel, I'm not sure.

I'm a sissy, what can I say?

Sure, send it. I'll tell you if the language is important, or just gratuitous. No guarantee when I'll read it, of course, I'm kinda lazy right now...

We'll not likely ever run out of dogs that need a home and will love us for the care that we can give them, for however long it may be.

I'm gonna need more furniture.

I seem to be the last geek to the party...but I only JUST got one. I like the interface...will probably use it as my main address for awhile.

OK, sending you what I have. The chapters are a little out of order...and I need to title them eventually so it's clearer who the speaker is. But you'll get the gist of it, I guess.

I also redid chapter one, just to edit out the part that wasn't working.

if it counts toward her degree later, even better!

She gets three credits for this course!

I have our fireplace going right now. SO nice...
Too bad it's in a place where we can't really see the snow coming down at the same time. That will have to wait for the remodel.

Well... you've probably already ceded the point, I know, but clearly that dog has *moved in*. Wherever he used to live before, he doesn't look too stressed about going back there. Seems to like your place just fine.

Not so loyal, this one. :-)

Ebenin' ebellybody!!!! [sip]

I need new boots.

Why do you need new boots? Do you have snow?

Well... not tonight... but maybe tomorrow, and definitely by friday. It's clouding up here, and all the clouds are coming from the North and the Northeast. It's the 'Arctic Express' fixin' ta tune up.

At least... that's what I think.

I've always wanted a pair of Sorel boots. This might be just the excuse. :-)
