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! |

I remember you mentioning the baby; didn't connect that with the funeral. Hope the family is managing okay--I have been praying for them.
I didn't see Stargate. What'd Atlantis take from that? I liked it more for the scenery than the plot--I like underwater movies.
To: Fedora
I know they need prayer. They're getting a lot, but that's hard.
Um. What did Stargate take from Atlantis? There are a lot of scenes you can just match one-to-one, particularly in the first third of each movie - you should really watch Stargate, it's cool. The dweeby scientist guy, the hard-bitten military guy - though in Stargate he's not the bad guy - the strange princess... Even the endings are the same!

Well, here is how I did on my bouquet...
Matches pretty well the hair thingy
It's OK! - I still have to do Sonya's... And since I will know twice as much when I finish hers as I do now, I may take this apart and re-do.... but right now I think it looks alright!
We also did a little hair dealy on a clip for Sonya but she took it with her.

To: HairOfTheDog
Say... that seemed to come out pretty good.
So the interview was OK? What was the vibe like? What're they looking for?

Those are beautiful, and they do match very well!

I REALLY identify with your experience! I have a little ford ranger with a manual transmission, and every time I've gone car/truck shopping I've had to go through the song and dance about why I don't want an automatic. Grrrr... Those guys drive me crazy and they waste so much of my time!
To: Ramius
Well, the Human Resources woman was a little bit hard to warm up to.... she started out pretty icy, but the interview ended well.... We'll see :~D

They do everything in their power to get you to buy what *they* want to sell you, rather than what have actually asked for. Yeah, and then they are shocked when you actually say, "no, not interested" and walk off. LOL Follow you trying other tactics until you leave.

I'm glad it ended well. Most interviews I've been involved in have been a little difficult to start off but usually warm up by the end.
To: Fedora
You should've dumped one of these on his head: My sweet little G.R.I.T.S. replies do that quite nicely as a rule. :-)

Catch you later!

Those guys drive me crazy and they waste so much of my time! I like dealing with my car dealer back home. He has known me since childhood. He knows exactly what to expect when I come around and is always full of good information that I actually want.
Called him this afternoon but he was out of the office. Am going to call back tomorrow morning and set him on the trail for me. *sigh* I'm tired of looking right now. Nothing is making me fall in lust except things I definitely don't need.
