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, Well 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've heard Pratchett was good at that; haven't read him yet, though.
How about Lord Dunsany?

I dunno ... Acorna is kinda cute ... like young adult SF, but with no cloying preachy parts, so that an old jade like myself could read it comfortably.
I like the Ship/City series, especially Helga's stories.
If you don't like graphic sex, let me warn you off of Sharon Green's early series, the Jalav, Terrilan, and Lady Blade, Lord Fighter series. They're absolutely filthy.
Vile.
Disgusting.
Trust me.

It was good of you to screen them *all* like that... just to be sure that young mind weren't corrupted by such things.
Mighty brave of you.
