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! |

Yes, I have a problem with larrge crowds in enclosed spaces making me claustrophobic. Noise also contributes to this... I can sit at a baseball game, or be at a rally, just fine, but at a party, if there's loads of people I don't know, and the music's on, I get nervous.Do you associate enclosed spaces or music with something you don't like, maybe?
To: JenB
Ahem, you're the biggest sneak we've had since Corin, Mister!Yeah, but I learned it from copying you :)
To: JenB
True, true. Or you might get someone from the Ministry of Silly Walks, and I don't like that idea.Or you might get someone who likes Spam. I don't like Spam! :)
To: Fedora
Noise just gives me headaches. I think I associate people, indoors, with bad kinds of noise.
I dislike spam, too, but then I'm an IT kinda gal.

I dislike spam, too, but then I'm an IT kinda gal.
Well, in that case, may I recommend some Spam, Spam, Spam, eggs, and Spam?

I think the courtship model is a great ideal, but it derives from a geographically-close family structure which, unfortunately, is increasingly rare today,Mine are close. Heck, we're on the same continent!

LOL, we didn't even think about sunscreen, till I noticed elf-boy's pink shoulders/arms. I made him go inside and change into a shirt with sleeves. Nothing a bit of lotion won't make better.

Hah! Sure, they're close, if you count 1500 miles as close. Then again, I ~am~ the one who thinks that being in the neighborhood is within a 300 miles radius.

To: HairOfTheDog
Nice project! - you do it all official and level like! LOL. This little $1.79 wonder I found yesterday is awesome. Slips over a string. 
More easier to find the level of the string than using the 4ft monster. The monster is great for leveling the bricks though.
