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!

Heh, nothing quite like getting a decent haircut and putting a clean shirt on.

And in general women's haircuts were worse back then. I can just never watch movies like "Terminator" without commenting about the horrible things people did to their hair or wore in public.

No one ever swooned over A-HA.

The hair bands did have some style eh?

You're seeing it through the rose-colored glasses of memory, I fear ;-)

Big hair? Leg warmers? Giant white plastic belts worn on top of tunic-tops?

Not saying today's "let's see how little material we can get away with" styles are any better, mind.

Oh man, are ya kidding?

Some of my friends went to the A-HA concert for the express purpose of flashing the band during "Take On Me".

They weren't as fanatical as the Duran Duran crowd, but they held their own in terms of fan-obsession. :-D

I was a hair band chick. Loved it, loved it, loved it!

Especially the Crue.

I speak with myself in mind ;-)

Not that I would wear them, but by the time I'll be able to get away with them Neo-Victorian will be back anyway.

We looked great.

I loved leg warmers. Wish I had some now.

Most of what you guys are wearing wouldn't look too odd today... the difference, I guess, between normal sane 80s people, and the relics I usually see in movies and such.

As long as they stick to the inverse cloth to ugliness relationship then there is no issue
:D
