The Hobbit Hole XIX - Tomorrow we may come this way...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Posted on 01/27/2005 9:59:05 AM PST by ecurbh

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Tomorrow we may come this way...

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!

My Dad hates fuss, so they never did anything like that...but we never questioned their wanting to be alone together for a few hours, for sure!

The sleet outside is starting to get icy. Wonder what the roads will be like tomorrow.

It sure would be nice to have a snow day....

The flight of the grey goose wing.

A clothyard shaft, a yew longbow, a bodkin head wielded with skill by an English yeoman.

It's a rare individual that can handle the longbow like those men of yore.

Still better than ice!

Though...if that ice gets me a day off work, I won't complain about it.

But in general, it has to be an inch of solid ice or several feet of snow before the college so much as has a delay. *sigh*

We got off early with the last snow, but the time was spent sitting in traffic.

Got home at the same time and left an hour early.

Guess we shouldn't tell Rosie and SuziQ that it was sunny and 63 today, right?

It's my last Vermont winter, such as it is - I'll take the cold and snow!

Who?

"What can I say about Branagh's amazing achievement with "Henry V" that hasn't already been said? Branagh himself is phenomenal in the title role. Let me put it to you this way: when Branagh launches into the famous "We few, we happy few" speech, you're ready to charge into battle with this man! From the first frame to the last, Branagh simply amazes with his richly passionate performance as Henry."

Good music too.

Here, if the buses can't run, school's closed. It hasn't happened for two years.
