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!

I figure if I see any tracks, I'll at least be able to tell if it's a critter, as apposed to a dog or a cat. Then I can contact someone for a live trap.

Have you guys ever heard of a singer named Eva Cassidy?

I heard a song sung by her, Tall Georgia Pines today - I was completely stunned by the beauty of her voice.

Never heard of her. But I do love Evanescence.

I like her voice a lot, Sam. Almost bought one of her CDs the other day - I'd like to have some of her music, but I haven't quite gotten around to buying any.

Do you know her story? Kind of sad.

Oh, I meant to ping you to that post!

Yes, I've just been reading about her on the net. Died of melanoma about 10 years ago at the age of 33. Was so shy she almost wouldn't perform in front of an audience and wasn't convinced she was any good.

I gather that a friend who sings Celtic stuff got her a recording contract.

Almost done with Firefly

Heh... have you watched the episode where Mal kicked the bad guy into the operating spaceship engine? I think it was in the first episode broadcast, back when it was new... it was the moment that sold me on the show.

Sad that she's really only become known since her death. But she was great, for sure.

I don't believe I've heard of hear... if I had, I don't remember.

Good evening, by the way!

I've only heard a few singles of theirs..."My Immortal" and "Bring Me to Life". Rather eerie stuff...I don't know what the rest of their music is like.

Yeah, that was a good episode! Episode 2, wasn't it? So the Pilot wasn't show first? How did that make sense?

Awesome show, we're down to the last episode. Which is good because we're going to see the movie again, this time knowing who these people are. I think Rosie will really cry when ^censored^ is horribly killed ;-)
