Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Let them pass! Let them pass!
(Note to dwarves, this is only meant figuratively)
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 have often wondered what would have happened, given one mere change to WWII: that is, that Hitler had not invaded Russia, and instead had (more wisely) decided to take out Britain first.
He would have won, and he probably would have been able to keep most of europe and north africa and the middle east.
The mind boggles at how the 20th century would have been different.

That was Hitler's original plan as laid out in "Mein Kampf" and his other prewar comments. I'm not sure why he didn't stick to it. I think part of it was that he underestimated how long it would take to knock out Britain--he was relying on estimates by Charles Lindbergh, who mistakenly predicted that the Luftwaffe could wipe out London without any serious opposition. Also Hitler was hoping the US would stay out of it, and was reinforced in this hope by encouragement from Joseph Kennedy (JFK's father), who exaggerated the amount of anti-Semitism in the US and assured Hitler that the US wouldn't care if he got rid of the Jews. Hitler's generals didn't want to fight the US and most of them were stunned when Hitler declared war on America after Pearl Harbor. Hitler was prone to make wild split decisions. When his generals warned him against invading Russia in winter, he answered something to the effect of, "You just fight--I'll take care of the weather!"

Hm...apparently there is a new Young Republicans group starting here...
I (if I did it right) sent a message to the person heading it up asking about it. This could be VEY cool!

Hey! Myranda has been involved in a Young Republicans group in central Texas. She really enjoyed it.
Course, they put her to work so she's an official Bush/Cheney campaign worker now.
Oh, and so is that guy she was with in that picture. They were both representatives at the state convention from their areas. He's from way up here in north Texas, though not as far west as I am.

I
love Les Miserables...the book. Don't care much for musicals.
While I am by no means an expert (note my lack of a degree in...anything...), If I can answer some specific Les Miserables question for you...I'd be glad to try.
