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!

a poem

Chuckle through and climb over
You ain't quite got there yet
Lots of ground left to cover
Never mind all the sweat

Have a smile at the progress
Look a while, write a poem
But don't tarry or regress
The Lord's waitin' at Home

Happy Birthday

Thanks! Steve thought I had on too much make-up...but you can hardly see it in the photo, so I must've done ok with that!

2J.... it doesn't look like you are wearing makeup at all. Just natural 2J!

That's good! That's what I wanted. Steve doesn't have an understanding of what lighting does to a face...just washes it out in portraits and on stage. You have to wear SOME make-up for formal portraits. I went with all natural colors, played up natural shadows on my eyes, natural colors on my cheeks, lips...

I think it turned out pretty good...

2J... I don't know why your wearing of makeup is an issue at all, but I think the portrait looks really nice.
