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 guess they must be playing a breakfast gig at Kilkenny Pub right now and then they head up to Bartlesville this afternoon (too far away), then to Arnies pub this evening (remember the bar Steve and I went to? Little dive?)
Well, that starts at 4pm...and only goes till 6pm, so I might head over there to the pub with the jedis, because that is an outside tent thing...

I've never read a romance novel ever. And I like my sci-fi on the hard side, manly stuff. Closest to sci-fi romance I've read would be Joe Haldeman. lol
When I first got the internet, one of the first things I did was go searching info about my favorite sci-fi writers. I was really disgusted to find out that James Tiptree Jr. was a she -- strapping-on a male persona in order to sell her stories. I knew there was a big secret years earlier about her identity, that no one knew who Tiptree was. Some were suspecting she was an agent of some area of our government, or something. Lotta hoopla to sell her stories. Now she is the sci-fi mascot for lesbian women.
When you read a novel, you are essentially following the author to a place he wants to take you. It is intimate contact, it is. Especially with the best ones like Ray Bradbury, et al.
I don't read women authors, because I don't want to follow them anywhere. I'm a chauvanist maybe. And I sure don't want to follow a lesbian woman anywhere. The finding left me nauseous, and I suppose it is the closest we women might come to understanding what it is like for a man with an interest in a woman then that she is a he. ugh
Morning Glorious!

His "Incarnations of Immortality" series is brilliant.You got that right! I enjoyed the "Bio of a Space Tyrant" series nearly as much.

Theodore Sturgeon. My kinda guy. Venus and the Seven Sexes, gets a little goofy, yes. But interesting still.

Oh, I'll read just about anything, Rose! I go through phases for certain authors - Linda Lael Miller is a sure fire winner for cowboy romance, Amanda Quick was terrific until each one of her regency-era novels was almost exactly like the one before, Cassie Edwards was fun, but her Indian love scenes practically burned the book out of my hands, Sandra Hill's Viking series is a hoot and I still love Jude Deveraux's medievel stuff!
A Knight in Shining Armor remains one of my favorites. I'm a big time-travel fan!

Around 10am and 11am (central), apparently...Rats...that's when I'm going to be prepping for and playing for the concert. Though I can't really listen to music at work anyway. Do you know if they archive shows? Maybe I could listen to some of it later.

My monitor recommended her to me as an example of Good Romance...She did her research, created detailed characters, pushed the envelope on certain taboos in "fun" fiction and teaches history while giving a really nice love scene every now and again!
I'm gonna re-read it!

It's not like framing and drywall hanging are things I can put on a resume, but heck, they're good things to know.When you can 'do it yourself', you save a lot of money! That's why we're going to be able to put a nice large addition on to our house. SSQ knows how to do all of it, and we're gonna have both college aged sons home this summer. We're gonna pay them for their time, since they could be out in the working world, but this way, they get free room and board ( and they like my cookin!), so they're thinking it's worthwhile!
Another reason it will work for us is that there are so many innovations in construction these days; insulated concrete forms, engineered lumber and joists, PEX tubing so you don't have to be sweating copper pipes, lasers for levels, etc. Can you tell we're excited about it? SSQ is enjoying getting all these new 'toys'. Did you see 'Gimli'? We'll take a picture of him in action against the tree stumps when the snow melts.
