The Hobbit Hole XXII - ...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/01/2005 7:12:04 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

...Apple, thorn, and nut and sloe

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!

Maybe I only know 'cause I'm...ummm...rather fond of the younger one. I thought it was mentioned in the text, but I can't remember.

Yep. And I don't know what "Boromir" and "Faramir" mean. You nailed me on that one.

What object was the sign of the authority of the Steward of Gondor?

thats like asking what Biffur and Bombur mean.

Alkhin, who is reeling from the sudden image of two dwarves talking like Thurston Howell III "Biffur, dear, would you hand me my Dom Perignon? I feel a sudden urge to act dwarvish"

er...something like that...

Poor Faramir is looking a little stressed. Could you comfort him, Rosie? Maybe bring him a drink and help him relax?

Hey, you're all right, dude!

Faramir means "adequate jewel" and Boromir means "faithful jewel". Yeah. Their father was messed up from the start.

Faramir means "adequate jewel" and Boromir means "faithful jewel".

So they were the family jewels?
