Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
...Pass them by! Pass them by!
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! |

Okay, so is anybody else seeing like a partial html link in PE's post above on the word "shot?"
I saw it up the thread in one of Jen's posts. Took me to Yahoo.
Have I been infected?

That's "Doc" Smith, right? Never read him. I know, heresy.

Unless it was by the KC Royals, you shouldn't hold it against the Cubbies.

Timeline's much better in book form. Not as though that's saying much.
The space opera I was referring to is very well written space opera. Politics. Intrigue. Twisted military geniuses. A kid with a private mercenary fleet. Three minor characters I want to steal....

Yup, E.E. "Doc" Smith. Old fashioned (it was written in the 30s & 40s) but interesting in that it was the first.
To: Professional Engineer
No, no, no... you don't *drink* sterno... you *inhale* it by holding the can over a candle and then... uh... wait... nevermind...
To: Corin Stormhands
"I should like to sing 'Il mio tesoro' from Mozart's
Don Giovanni...but I can't..."
or
"...but they tell me I have to sing this bit of Verdi instead."
"Ah, che la morte ognora
È tarda nel venir
A chi desia, a chi desia morir!...
Addio, Leonora!"
(Thunderous applause)
