The Hobbit Hole XX - And take the hidden paths that run...
The Freeper Hobbit Hole ^

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
And take the hidden paths that run...
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! |

I have a '70's film with Richard Chamberlain. Several films came out then, with a lot of the same people in them..."Man in the Iron Mask" is another in my collection.
There was one very recently but a lot of the plot lines were entirely different IIRC.

Mwahahaha.... yes, that would have been pretty obvious if they'd done that... I thought it was a valid reinterpretation. And the guy who played Mondego, I liked how he played him.
I like Dumas' work enough to forgive the man for bein' French... not enough to pretend he wasn't French, like I do with Jules Verne.

One of the episodes that I recall from the book as being very important, I've never seen in a film version...Rome at Carnival, where Albert, Franz and ?? (I have to read it again now!) meet the Count, before he comes to Paris.
It's like leaving Waterloo out of Les Miz :)

Jules Verne was a time traveller.
Or an alien.

But not French ;-)
I like the way you think.

I recall that being in the recent film version. And it's in the anime, though it's on Luna, not in Rome.

Sure, I figure H.G. Wells got the idea for The Time Machine from Verne.

Now we all know that Jules and Vern were the sons of Emmett and Clara (Clayton) Brown.
How they got to France in the 1850-70 frame is conjectured and has something to do with a flying locomotive, though any who reported seeing such a thing were immediately taken up for insanity (that how Spanish gained the word "loco" for "crazy").
This can be verified. I will gather the necessary documents and present them for your perusal in about 46 years.

Didn't Verne write a time travel story?

If he did, I don't think it's one of his famous ones. I'm too lazy to Google it right now... ;)

Oh, wait... were you perhaps thinking about Paris in the 20th Century, the "lost" novel that was found and published in 1994?

It was never published as a Classics Illustratred comic book...

Heh, heh... that's how I read all of Verne's famous works... except for Journey to the Center of the Earth, which book I actually read as a youngster.

I need to file mine (e-file, that is) tomorrow, probably. Been stalling since I owe. But...I won't have internet at home after the next two days or so.

That's the best one, IMO.
I'm a sucker for old languages and runes and such... ;-)

We'll owe big-time on our personal taxes, so they won't go in until April 15. Business taxes are due March 15, though.
