The Hobbit Hole XV - Pass them by! Pass them by!
See our freeper.the-hobbit-hole.net home page! ^

Posted on 09/02/2004 2:18:28 PM PDT by HairOfTheDog

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!

No, Jeanne is no Andrew that's for sure.

I'm not religious by a long-shot, but most certainly a believer! *grin*

I still think God's chasing the commies outta Florida to ensure a Bush landslide.

Of course Andrew was a tropical storm if I remember right, a relatively few days before landfall. Can't remember exactly how many, though.

The only way I could handle Thomas Hardy is listening on audio tape. I listened to "Return of the Native", narrated by Alan Rickman. Now THAT was nice. But I know what you mean about his characters. They have even worse days than Corin! ;o)

Andrew's intensification was really incredible. I think he went from tropical storm to cat 5 in 3-4 days....

SSQ and I met at a Music Ministry weekend. We were both guitarists for our respective parishes, and after the first evening's session, several of us sat around and just played and sang. "Rocky Mountain High" was popular then, so we sang that, and I always associate that song with that weekend now. That one and "Cowgirl in the Sand".

Hurricane season isn't over until the end of November. I'm hoping they'll stay up north through Thanksgiving and then come down....well after the election is over and Bush is re-elected!
