The Hobbit Hole XXVIII - Through shadows to the edge of night
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 02/24/2006 9:52:11 AM PST by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Through shadows to the edge of night

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!

If it comes out acceptable, I get a copy of the book that the cover is for, and a tiny bit of help towards fencing costs. Gotta at least try...

I had this bizarre dream last night. You were still living here but you were planning to move to Washington, but somewhere you'd acquired two more cats. I was paranoid that the apartment folk would find out but you kept saying "Oh, it's ok, once I move I'm taking Tam and Halvah so there will only be two cats again" and I could not convince you that I couldn't keep these strange new cats.

It was weird.

Ugh. I'm getting sick. I can feel it.

Got a tightness in my chest and a dry cough that hurts and I've got that vague kind of thick swimmy feelin' in my head. And chills.

That sounds like a really great idea. Too bad I don't have anyone to cuddle up with.

Well, we knew that back when you were asking your brother for sheetrock pictures.

There are just some things that friends and family don't need to know.

Oh dear... want me to pick up anything of a medicinal nature on my way home? Nyquil? Theraflu? Tequila?
