The Hobbit Hole XXX - Then world behind and home ahead...
http://freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net/ ^

Posted on 06/28/2006 10:14:11 AM PDT by HairOfTheDog

Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!

Then world behind and home ahead

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!

Mornin'!

We watched the unicorn flick last night, to which Ramius commented "Is there ~anything~ that Rankin-Bass did ~well~?" LOL! The music was even cheesier than I remembered.

The live-action version is hung up in pre-production for some reason, but I'm sure hoping they pick it up and get it done soon. It'll be a fantastic movie with today's technology.

*YAWN* ~sip~ I'm so sleepy. Need to get to bed earlier.

My hands-down favorite character from any Rankin-Bass production.

No, my dentist is actually very good. He's the younger partner of the guy I've gone to for years. We were joking about the Steve Martin character from "Little Shop of Horrors."

I had two small cavaties to be fixed. No pain. But he initially was looking at the tooth next to the front one with a problem. So I got an extra shot of novacaine.

I asked him if I should have marked the tooth with a Sharpie.

I need to find a dentist. Especially for the girls.

Becky had a cavity filled before we left Miami, but she had one more small cavity that needed attention and we ran out of time.

I'm sure she's in no hurry though. ;-)

Morning Ruthy!

I've seen "The Last Unicorn", but it's been years...

I seem to recall it fit into our "so bad it's good" category.

Yup. That's about right. ;-)

The animation isn't ~too~ bad, but the music is just plain awful.

Speaking of movies, I checked out some of the imdb.com page for "The Gods Must Be Crazy". The guy that played the minister also wrote, produced, directed and edited the movie.

Looks like he only made a few movies, most including the same main actors.

Useless trivia. ;-)
