The Hobbit Hole VII - But not yet weary are our feet...
Posted on 03/15/2004 1:45:41 PM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
But not yet weary are our feet...
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! |

Yikes, is that the time? My boys are both snoring, and I have been kicked out of my bed again. Eh, doesn't matter, cuz at this time of night, I am usually transitioning to the couch anyway.Okay, I guess I'll head that way, too, then. Have a good night!

sever his corpus callosum connecting his right and left brainsI hate it when that happens.
It's like my left hand doesn't know what my right hand is doing.

90% English, with some Scottish and a German or too for good measure. That sounds like me practically. Are all your people from the North?

Who cares that your greatgrandfather was a bootlegger? LOL! I had an uncle who was a bootlegger; did a stint in Parchman prison. His wife cleaned out his bank account then divorced him while he was inside. When he got and and got on the straight and narrow, he met and married my Aunt Heppie. Never knew Uncle John, but the stories that my oldest brother and sister tell about him are a hoot!

I sent pics to all of you for posting with some comments. I could only send two each cause of the file size. If you all could get them posted to share I would appreciate it. I havent learned how to post them yet. greybeard told me a little and I'm not sure if I could even do it from here. Thanks again everyone.
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Good Morning Bear; yup, she is, thanks. Had a couple of cups of coffee so we're a fixin' to take our walk.
To: 300winmag
300winmag, I doubt anyone of us here could ever fathom what goes on in the mind of 'the pointy hair executive' that made that call.
Regarding the sheath knife, since the other isn't in the picture anymore and you feel the mid-size isn't satisfactory, it might just be the way to go.
I hope a few others would chime in on it.
btw, if the new HH knife is the sheath model, I reckon I have a place for another HH knife. :-)

Morning! Did Gypsy enjoy her walk? Is she a morning dog? Miss Cat was up early wanting her Fancy Feast.
To: Wneighbor
WN.... you have pictures from Entmoot that we don't have on the site!

To: osagebowman
Have fun on the first walk!
Tell us about new pooch! Have you discovered what she already knows?
To: HairOfTheDog; All
Doughboy crawled out of his den today- is doing yardwork, possibly building a shed. More details to come... but first a teaser: he's trying to mow sticks with his lawnmower (and it's not working too well- keeps stalling. LOL).

I love the "Princess Bride" book! And it's not expurgated, it's the good parts version.
Yeah, I asked for that one, in hardcover, for Christmas. Zoo of Death, the beauty rankings - the ending...

To: stands2reason
I was at the library Friday and checked to see if they had a copy of Beverly Hills Cop; no luck. Like I said, I saw Princess Bride, though, just didn't remember that quote. Might have to add some memory chips to fit more quotes in here--got a whole gig of Airplane ones up there :)
To: stands2reason
It's like my left hand doesn't know what my right hand is doing.Ouch!--LOL!
To: Fedora
If you can't quote it, you haven't seen it.
You have read "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", right?
