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!

Will certainly take pics. But I'm having second thoughts right now. It's *COLD* outside. I don't know if I wanna go move and paint cinder blocks just yet. Maybe I'll plant the peat pots....

Nothing left but the chair and his head so I understand. It kept me up late last night reading the celebratory threads. One Freeper reported that even DU was happy about it.

That strikes me as a little odd. They're all for the Palestinian cause over in that rathole.

I'd wager the other rats beat that one silly over such a heresy.

Ok, back to the DIY. (I'm unstoppable- muahahaha!)

Being pretty hotly debated now on DU... From outright sympathy ("He was just an old man who gave speeches about freedom") to fear ("Now the Muslims are gonna be really mad at us, we should have just given them what they want") to tinfoil ("Bush planned this to take attention away from the Rich Clark interview") to the minority who actually see him as a bad guy that needed to go.
