The Hobbit Hole XXIV - Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...
Please see our Hobbit Hole Troop Support project blog! ^

Posted on 08/24/2005 9:50:25 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Sand and Stone and Pool and Dell...

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!

It's a tropical storm, people. Get a grip.

Some folks just ~like~ arguing.

Ophelia makes me think of Hamlet. Maybe it's Shakespeare's fault. He's a dead white guy, let's blame him.

Hey Pip, yup, you'll pick up more. Should be time for third reading soon, I'm rereading most of Discworld at the moment.

I read the first two Artemis Fowl books in that series.

They were, shall we say, different.

My coworker is now reading a series of mystery/fantasy novel titled "Wizard for Hire" Sounds interesting.

Who's the author? I have seem some really good books with that idea. And some really bad ones.

Didn't like Artemis Fowl at all, maybe I'm just too old. Pick up "Guards Guards" by Terry Pratchett (it's a good intro to Discworld) I bet you'll like it. There's only about thirty books in that series so won't take long to catch up ;-)

Oh, yeah, I thought it might be. Tried one of them, it wasn't my thing. Too urban-blah. I was really hoping to like it, too.

PS - bwahaha.... be careful, Discworld is addictive. I'll try to make you a list of which books need to be read before which others later if you like Guards Guards.
