Hair, alkhin and Ruthy, I need help with this one!

"THE ROAD GOES EVER ON"

The road goes ever, ever on! Down from the door where it begun. And I must follow if I can, persueing it whith weary feet.

From "The Hobbit" and "Fellowship of the Ring" by JRR Tolkien

It's not the whole poem so I pinged some of the Hobbit Holers to help.

At your service!

The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.

~JRR Tolkien, Fellowship of the Ring, Ch 6, Many Partings......

Hi Pippin...I am only just catching up to Freeper threads...what is this thread about??? I am afraid I am not much of a poet...and am probably poorly qualified as consultant for such literature. I am one of those malformed souls who has no feeling for poetry...
