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! |

Hi there... go ahead, bother... :-) Hmmmmm... got it in writing...
No hug though.
Sorry your day was a waste of time. Sounds like you need to rant about work again. Or at least vent some frustration some way.

Yeah - I think it's a good job.... Exec. Asst. to the president of a company that makes plastic things... everything from hot tubs to parts of the Hummer. Would be good to be in the private sector where cogs are made for once.
I can dig plastic cogs.
To: Wneighbor
[little up to the left... thanks...] :-)
The stuff I got for the bites really did help. Got some calamine, some benadryl cream, and some hydrocortisone. Together they seem to make a pretty potent anti-itch cocktail.

Cogswell Cogs? Spacely Sprockets?
Is that the outfit over in T H2O over by the Point Tav? I forget the name, but they made lots of plastic stuff.

Yep! I'd say you got all the right stuff for anything that itches. I'd suggest rubbing it on your back... but, I kinda like to do the scratchin' there! hehehe
Got something for you to check out here.

When they released the original Godzilla in the US, they added scenes with Raymond Burr playing a reporter named "Steve Martin"
I actually own that on dvd. ;) Love those old Godzilla movies.

No.... it's a place out in Ramtha town. I'll send you a link.... I haven't studied them too much yet, but I will before Friday... It wasn't an ad, it was a tip from the headhunter outfit in Tacoma I signed up with.
To: HairOfTheDog
Good luck with the job interview!
To: HairOfTheDog
Prayers going up for a successful interview!!

I see now it's really fiberglass stuff.... I better get my act together before Friday!
To: Fedora
That's pretty funny!
Yeah, dubbing can result in some pretty amusing stuff - "All your base are belong to us", anyone? I would imagine that it's easier to get silly results when translating from Chinese or Japanese rather than a language that's more related to English. I bet there are a lot more words that just don't translate. Or concepts that won't work because we have no frame of reference for them. I wish I weren't a linguistic moron, I'd love to study that sort of thing... sigh, I guess English will have to be good enough for me.
