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!

Starting? I've merely been attempting not to inflict it on other people for the last hundred-ish days.

I picked up "Reign of Fire". Came *very* close to getting "What About Bob?" and "Groundhog Day", too...but I resisted for now.

They also have just about every John Wayne movie you can think of on sale...except "The Quiet Man", which is the one I really want.

*sigh*

Well, I grew up in the foothills of the Blue Ridge...but still, I suddenly want to go to Norway and see some fjords.

I think I'm going crazy in my old age...so, do you recommend and fjords in particular?

One thing I know...to order lutefisk...I learned that right here on the thread.

Sam, we only serve Lutefisk to guests that have overstayed their welcome :~)

I haven't seen any fjords myself, but I bet they're all pretty good :~)
