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!

Well, remember 'dopefish' from vid games from waaaaay back?
Well, he showed up as an 'easter egg' in the Quake series.
In the in Modification add on to Half Life called Sven Co-Op, he appears in a locker.
There's odd things in almost all vid games.

Bookmarked MS3K soundarchive site.
*chuckle*
There was a website detailing 'easter eggs' in video games and programs.
Idiot me didn't bookmark it..

Just got a call from PE not too long ago. He is settling in nicely in his new position. I am going to pick up elf-boy in about 1/2 hour and we will meet him for lunch.

I'm still looking for a good place to put the candles...they keep falling over.

No worries! Just shove 'em down in there and light 'em! I'll have 'em blown out in no time and we can finish off the pie! Little wax drippin's never hurt anybody anyhow! :-)
